Mission
There are people with a "mission" to convert others into their religion, some others on mission to forcefully convert some into what they seem is "original/ancestral" religion. A tool also used during this is to just say bad about other religions or against Atheists in general. Brainwashing is used by same people to spread violence. Their supporting medias are quiet about the atrocities &propagandas. This song discuss/raises questions & suggests what is, if any god's Mission

Hours after midnight
India & Pakistan were partitioned &declared Independent from British Rule on 'Midnight' between 14th & 15th August 1947(IST) . Partition lead to chain of never-ending issues. Once the citizens of same land then fought each other. It is a reminder of that Joy as well as massive sadness &chaos. Aimed to compare the tactics used by some in this age parallel to past. Synecdoche for 'Ages post Partition-night' and based on Bhairav/MaayamalwagauLa played at Dawn: 'Hours After Midnight'

War of Kalinga
War of Kalinga was the last battle of Ashok Maurya. He won the war, but the bloodhshed made him lose his faith in teachings of "Warrior Caste/Duty". He converted to Buddhism &abandoned the idea of using army to conquer place. War of Kalinga is exchange of contrasting ideas & a conclusion that hard-lining yourself as "tough &brutal" or even "following teachings/ culture" may not necessarily be what makes you feel like a Human

Burden of lives
This is the only fiction-based story track in the album. It is a story of medieval Feudal times/land. A revenge from some son of a blacksmith, for atrocity, power-abuse, murders done to his people by orders of the unjust greedy Emperor.
Though not mentioned in lyrics, but the protagonist doesn't kill the king himself. It is supposed to be that King dies in Anxiety &Shock (not electrical).

Wolfcry
"There are several metaphors here. Some of it comes from confusing true events in a dark times, like winds opening the gates of Hell/Circus/Zoo metaphor for what is generally metaphorised as 'bars'. The experience of a Wolf as it remains calm, gets angry & deadly, survives, maintains low visibility & finally steps up again while singing a 'Wolfcry'.
It is associated with primarily 'Resilience', bounceback or get stronger."

If it was now
"Activists, social reformers have always been troubled & mocked by those who are either unjust or who are brainwashed with an existing 'Preached' prejudices/superstitions . This song is the only one which takes names of real people to bring the examples out. It is disheartening since 5 years before it released, more names had to be added. Adding these names were necessary because that's how you show current relativity, sadly so many journalists/professors/activists are murdered in these years. Some who mock such reformers today, also aprpeciate reformers of past because they receieved some freedom/rights from past reformers....So, same people would ironically have been atrocious to the reformers of past too.
It is now, was in past and maybe always will."

Khayaal,
a lil fantasy
a lil fantasy
"Khayaal is a subgenre in the North Indian traditional Musical culture (Hindustani Classical) like Badaa Khayaal (Badaa=Big) & Chotta Khayaal (Chotta=small). The word Khayaal literally means Imagination or Thought. Similarly Fantasy in Western music is a style of writing, more famous in the Late Classical & Romantic Era. This song is a fusion. Chiefly, a romantic mood you can dance to, but has a lot more happening. Live your lil fantasy to this instrumental ! This one is the short band version
