Ankur Tewari - The Naman Saraiya Song

Rennaissance Mission was conceived by Warren in a green room at a festival somewhere, waiting to get onstage while sub-heavy music blasted from a PA nearby.

The original album recording has Karsh Kale on drums, and is a favourite at the band's recent gigs. The song features a memorable intro hook, and the long jam sections in the middle leave plenty of room for improvisation, which the band takes full advantage of. Adi Mistry and Jai Row Kavi prove to be a locomotive of a rhythm section, with Beven Fonseca's keyboard textures lending a nice touch to the proceedings.

It’s a cold, dark night, We’re sipping tea 
Hoping to feel warm again 

The old cartons are packed and the candy jar is empty 
Where did you go?

Suddenly you and I are nothing, nothing but the past 
We feel the storm coming in and we don’t know how long its going to last 
So where do we go tonight? 

We fell apart, right back to the start 
Our thoughts numb, our hands tied 
Yet we spread our broken wings to fly 

Where did you go? 

We try to see the world, through rose tinted glass 
But our hearts lay down like autumn leaves 
The promises we made, the dreams we had 
We watch them fade away 


Where Did You Go?

Walk away (alternative)

Verse 1
Born in chains beneath their throne,
Fed on scraps, I called it home.
A loyal hound they left to bleed,
But I’ve returned with sharper teeth.

Chorus
I walk the night where the ashes burn,
Every scar is a vow I’ve earned.
You can break my body, cage my breath,
But I’ll rise again from iron and death.

Verse 2
The blood I spilled was never mine,
A borrowed fate, a twisted crime.
Now I carry the weight of graves,
A broken oath they cannot save.

Chorus
I walk the night where the ashes burn,
Every scar is a vow I’ve earned.
You can break my body, cage my breath,
But I’ll rise again from iron and death.

Bridge
Once a hound who bowed his head,
Now a ghost the world will dread.
If vengeance is the only way,
Then let the stars remember my name.

Final Chorus
I walk the night where the ashes burn,
Every scar is a vow I’ve earned.
You can cut me down, deny my breath,
But I’ll rise again from iron and death.

Outro
A loyal heart they chose to betray,
Now iron blood will make them pay.

Iron Blooded Hound

Lyrics
Should've known, should've known
Exactly what she was saying.
She didn't know, didn't know
How much attention he was paying
He was distracted by
Something else that crossed his mind.

So she went up to him and said "What's the problem, boy?"
And he said, "Sorry ma'am but I was busy.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Many years went by
She was the girl he always wanted
She never noticed his mind
Was the place she always haunted
She was distracted by every other guy around

So he went up to her and said, "Babe, won't you be mine?"
And she said, "Sorry, honey. You must be.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

What was he supposed to do?
When everyone around him never really knew
Exactly what he was going through.
He was a victim of fantasy
It took more than 'being a man' to see
Just what a dreamer could do
But he never knew that

There he was, there he was
And all the people stood before him
He strummed his guitar 
And all the people, they screamed for him
He never thought that he'd be loved for
Just what he did best

So when he sang, he sang about 
All that he'd been through
And he blamed it on the fact that
All he was really good at was

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

He was busy
Dreaming 
Dreaming
Dreaming
