Wow brilliant ending on G(Ni) rather A(Sa) and taking on the harmony at next G. The C, D , AMin chord apt :P. The interlude Anandha Bhairavi could have been deeper. Just knowing the sweetness of sanskrit in Rock form and loved your pronunciation. There are some corrections to be performed in lyrics you posted

Harmony - One where everything comes in sync. This composition is an example of it. Krish, this is an excellent piece!

This part makes me suddenly reflect on my life

Hearing this, sitting alone early in the morning with a cup of coffee, looking over the sun rise slowly over the tree line faraway. what a feel!.

A Sanskrit adaptation of "Hurt" (originally written by Trent Reznor & made famous by Johnny Cash' haunting rendition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc)
Lyrics: @krishashok & KSKarun (twitter.com/kskarun)
This version is told from the viewpoint of Duryodhana (from Bhasa's 2nd century play Urubhanga)

Verse 1
माम् अद्य अहिंसयम् (I hurt myself today)
भावना परीक्षितुम्  (to test my feelings)
पीडाम् योजयाम्यहम् (I focus on the pain)
याम् अस्ति यथार्थम् (that is the only truth)
रंध्रं छिद्रयति सूची (the needle tears a hole)
परिचितदंशः (the very familiar sting)
यतेऽहम् हन्तुम् सर्वं (I try to destroy it all)
सर्वं स्मराम्यहम् (I remember everything)
 
Chorus
किमहम् अभवम् (What have I become?)
मधुरतम मित्र (My sweetest friend)
यान् सर्वान् जानामि (everyone I know)
अन्ते विगच्छन्ति (goes away, in the end)
त्वम् लभेथाः सर्वम् (You can have it all)
मम तृणसाम्राज्यम् (my empire of grass/dirt)
निराशा यच्छाम्यहम् (I bring tragedy)
त्वाम् व्यथयाम्यहम् (I hurt you)
 
Verse 2
कण्टक मौलिम् वहामि (I wear this crown of thorns)
आनृतकासने स्थितन् (upon my liar's chair)
हीनविचारपूर्णः (mind full of harmful thoughts)
प्रतिकर्तुम् न शक्यम् (That i cannot repair)
कालस्य कलङ्केषु (In the stains of time)
भावनाः लीयन्ते  (Feelings disappear)
अन्यः त्वमसि (You are someone else)
अहमत्रैवास्मि (I am still right here)

Picture: Duryodhana, as a character in the Bhasa play "Urubhanga", an alternative take on the Mahabharatha story where he realizes the futility of war and loses interest in empire.

Kimaham Abhavam

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts
