Sir Ben Kingsley, CBE (born Krishna Pandit Bhanji;Gujarati:કૃષ્ણા પંડિત ભાનજી; 31 December 1943) is an English actor who has won an Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards in his career. He is known for starring as Mohandas Gandhi in the film Gandhi in 1982, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. He is also known for his performances in the films Schindler's List (1993), Sexy Beast (2000), House of Sand and Fog (2003), and Hugo (2011).
Kingsley was born Krishna Pandit Bhanji in Snainton, North Yorkshire, England, the son of Anna Lyna Mary (née Goodman), an actress and model, and Rahimtulla Harji Bhanji, a medical doctor.
Kingsley's father, born in Kenya, is of Gujarati Indian descent; Kingsley's paternal grandfather was a spice trader who had moved from India to Zanzibar, where Kingsley's father lived until moving to England at the age of 14. Kingsley's mother, born out of wedlock, was "loath to speak of her background". Kingsley's maternal grandfather was believed by the family to have been a Russian or German Jew, while Kingsley's maternal grandmother was English and worked in the garment district of East London.

INSTRUMENTAL
The sun beats down like blood
Across the east desert land
True mess, the year 2005
Atomic bombs everywhere
Soldiers are marching across the screen......
Panic all around
Exploding sound
But no one hears my cries
One step ahead
One road ahead
I keep sliding back
We are the armed forces
We are the armed punks
Suck my metal ass!!
Searching for asylum
Searching for asylum, asylum!!
The moon is rising in the dark spooky sky
Black hell is wide open
I just can't open my eyes
Evening star lights
Shining above metal gun heads
Fading into the smoky clouds
Panic all around
Exploding sound
But no one hears my cries
One step ahead
One road ahead
I keep sliding back
We are the armed forces
We are the armed punks
Suck my metal ass!!
Searching for asylum
Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin'
I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke
I see him down the road, I ask if he'd be willing
To lend me 15 P, I'm dying for a smoke
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone
It's a just a game I play for fun, for fun
I told 'em, "Look!" I said "I'm not the way you're thinkin"
Just when I'm down, I'll be a clown, I'll play the fool
Please don't arrange to have me set to no asylum
It's just a game I play for fun, for fun
Will he take a sailboat ride?
Well, he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
Well, he ain't very likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
Yeah, he is always trying to
But nothin', no no nothin', does he say
In the morning when the day's begun
"Hello Good morning, how are you?"
And in the evening or the noonday sun
"What a lovely afternoon!"
Well I've been living next to you
Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here
Yeah when they haunt me and taunt me in my cage
I mock 'em all, they're feelin' small, yeah they got no answer
Yeah they're playin' dumb but I'm just laughing as they rage
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
Well It's only a game I play for fun
Yeah I've been tryin' to fool everyone [Incomprehensible]
No that's too heavy
Will he take a sailboat ride?
Well, he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
Yeah, he ain't very likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
Well, he is always trying to
Yeah but nothin', no no nothin' does he ever say
In the morning when the day's begun
"Do you think it looks like rain"?
And in the evening or the noonday sun
"You know I nearly missed my train"
Well I've been living next to you my friend
But what kind of friend are you?
Is it the beginning or the sorry end?
Will I ever see it through?
No I've never been insane
Oh what's the game?
I believe I'm dying
He's mad, mad, mad
Dream
Release me
No remnants were ever found of it
Feeling the heart vile with every fake smile
Though no evidence was ever found
It never went away completely
I tried to welcome the unholy sound of it
Another day gone, another night's drawn
Dark forces pull me underground
That never went away completely
How can I feel this empty?
I will not recover this time
This loneliness is killing me
Will I never know peace of mind again?
I don't believe it, I can't achieve it
I think I know it's just another sign
That never went away completely
Terror is coursing in me
(I can feel it inside of me, it's in diligent watch on everything)
Dreading the final moments where I have to dream and
(It's a silver hold on my belief, just waiting for the moment when I)
Feel you die
In asylum, I live a lie
Don't you know I'm in love with you and I wasn't ready
For asylum, relive a lie
To let go, now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum, forget the lie
Overcome by the feeling
That I won't get to join you in time
For the loneliness is killing me
Death's images are all around again
They're right behind me, they're gonna find me
Judge me for my mortal sin
That have enveloped me completely
I know I'll never know a peaceful night again
Afraid they'll hear me, they don't fear me
Punishment for me of a moral crime
The debt was never paid completely
Terror is coursing in me
(I can feel it inside of me, it's in diligent watch on everything)
Dreading the final moments where I have to dream and
(It's a silver hold on my belief, just waiting for the moment when I)
Feel you die
In asylum, I live a lie
Don't you know I'm in love with you and I wasn't ready
For asylum, relive a lie
To let go, now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum, forget the lie
Overcome by the feeling
That I won't get to join you in time
For the loneliness is killing me
In the end there will be no suffering, more suffering
In the end you will find out everything, not anything
In the end you may question your belief, what belief?
In the end you will realize finally how you were saved
This has gone on too long
No more demonic dreams
Destroyer, come tonight
Because the memory is killing me
In asylum, I live a lie
I let go, now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum, relive a lie
Overcome by the feeling
That I won't get to join you in time
(When not with you)
This world is not fulfilling me
Don't make me live in asylum, I live a lie
Don't want to live in asylum, I live a lie
I am no feeble Christ, not me
He hangs in glib delight upon his cross
Above my body
Christ forgive. FORGIVE?
I vomit for you Jesu
Shit forgive
Down now from your cross
Down now from your papal heights
From the churlish suicide, petulant child
Down from those pious heights
Royal flag bearer, goat, billy
I vomit for you
Forgive? Shit he forgives
He hangs in crucified delight
Nailed to the extent of his vision
His cross, his manhood, violence, guilt, sin
He would nail my body upon his cross
Suicide visionary, death reveller
Rake, rapist, lifefucker, Jesu
Earthmover, Christus, Gravedigger
You dug the pits of Auschwitz
The soil of Treblinka is your guilt
Your sin, Master, master of gore, enigma
Your carry the standard of our oppression
Enola is your gaiety
The bodies of Hiroshima are your delight
The nails are the only trinity
Hold them in your corpsey gracelessness
The image I have had to suffer
The cross is the virgin body of womanhood that your defile
You nail yourself to your own sin
Lamearse Jesus calls me sister
There are no words for my contempt
Every woman is a cross in his filthy theology
In his arrogant delight
He turns his back upon me in his fear
He dare not face me. Fearfucker
Share nothing you christ
Sterile, impotent, fucklove prophet of death
You are the ultimate pornography
In your cuntfear, cockfear, manfear, womanfear, unfair
Warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare,
Warfare, warfare, warfare
Contained in my cotton crib
Where I feel no turbulence
The ocean sleeps upon a shelf
And it feeds my apathy
But I can feel it in the night
Like rain upon my skin inside a winter
But you began to splinter
If I decide to recognise my thorns
Cause every time I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away in the night
I feel the sun before it's light
And it fades away into the night
I was afraid, I feed myself
I cleared the shelf and killed the shame
But I can feel it in the night
Collect the rocks and throw them over borders
To shake the muddy waters
And clear myself from hiding every thorn
Cause every time I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away
And we grow
From a garden where all that we know
You're just a fool for him
For him
For him
Cause every time I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away
Dry in the day, and fading away
I get so blind
From all of these colours
Dressed up like kings and queens
But it don't mean a thing
A killer I'm not
Murderers get caught
If I'm such a criminal
Then take me away
Well I get so tired
Of the word on the wire
It's all so black and white
But how quickly it fades
We eat food for thought
And forget what we've got
She was a prisoner
Now I nearly am
Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home
Asylum can't chase away
Oh oh
Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home
Asylum can't chase away
Over the ocean
A world away
Ghosts from her home
Asylum can't chase away
Oh oh oh oh
Walking through these halls
Filled with anger
Screaming for my life
But no one answers
And in my head the voice are doomed
The walls are cold and I sit true
I'm forever lost, in the asylum
The scars of your love on my wrist
The scars of madness on your fist
I tried to save the ones I love
I prayed for love of god above
I'm forever lost, in the asylum
No one will believe, the story I tell
No one could imagine such a lonely hell
No one seems to help me now
As though my words were all blacked down
And reaching on the walls, of the asylum, yeah
Instead I turn those tables round
You knock me down on hallow ground
Our wedding vows we pronounce, into the asylum
The whispers of the ghosts of dreams
The way I hoped my life would be
One day I know you'll realize
Our love was meant to die
I don't wanna die, in the asylum
Hid in the Asylum
Waiting on the Lord
Needle's at the front desk
But it never takes that long
Judas of confessions
Broken on my knees
Down on medication
Innocent but always losing sleep
I wait alone
All the lights are turned on
Scalpel in the hand
A minor indiscretion
I feel the harness tightening
Analyse my breathing
The company I keep
Prostitutes and Presidents
Are here in the Asylum losing sleep
I wait alone
Alone
I'm letting go
I'm coming home
Hid in the Asylum
Waiting on the Lord
Needle's at the front desk
But it never takes that long
In the Asylum
I'm letting go
I'm coming home
be my fellow through
the frozen pale
and in the purple tune
my nightingale
send me an echo when
the curse begins
i need your confidence
to all my sins
conceal my trace
conceal my vault
conceal it tender at your soul
conceal my face you're my
hideaway
come seal my veils
conceal my wound
conceal the poems at your tongue
conceal my face you're my
hideaway
dont let the crowd close to
my consecrate
they just want detain you
to elevate
stay in oblivion
until i call
and if i crown my sin
It's weighing heavy on my mind
If I'll come out on top this time
And I cannot let this one go
But I have to let her know
But I have to let her know...
I still feel down, but I'll come around
Has nothing to do with you, it's just something I'm going through
In a minute all this could change
And we could lose our way
And I cannot see what's ahead
And I don't know when I'll be dead
And I don't know when I'll be dead
I still feel down, but I'll come around
Has nothing to do with you, it's just something I'm going through
I still feel wrong, but I'll come along
When will this come undone?
When will I be well?
And if this knot fell down
Will it be when I turn around?
I still feel down, but I'll come around
Has nothing to do with you, it's just something I'm going through
I still feel wrong, but I'll come along
Has nothing to do with you
Has nothing to do with you
Dark Forest, Mighty Force Of Nature
My Deed is done, Betrayer got
What he deserved
Here is my place
I must live alone, with my dreams
Of Darkness and Purity
No one can understand my way of life
So, nothing but Hate remains
You said you are The True One,
But that you were NOT.
Your body is now buried
And to Hell your soul will be send
I said to you that Traitors
Will be Punished,
So enjoy your trip to
The Realm Of The Master.
Rites of Immortality
Still echoes in My mind,
When I am remembering our Coven
Those deeds of Darkness
Were best times of My life
Now I am only waiting...
J. Fopp
In my melancholic asylum
I embrace the things to come
Betray the world with my solitude
Despair is my middle name
I'm the one who's to blame
Wear disguises of sorrow
Hide beneath the clouded sky
Dry the tears in my eye
Await the shroud
Of relief
Silence thy lullabies
Look behind the disguise
Envision
Living inside a world of reflections
Feeding off shadows cloaked as happiness
Wrapping delusions in silky webs
Stuck to our chests like the meaning that'll make us a whole
A noble goal to live and die for
Within our cocoons in cozy and warm
Sliding off reality into a rabbit hole
Waiting, hoping, screaming for love and lust
For our flesh to turn to dust
In the midst of our fragile flames
We burn and rise
Lost in our great demise
Ignorance delights inside our little broken hearts
And we decide
That we have now arrived
Innocent creation
Hatred now
Made to be the highest
Yet betrayed by God
Being so fragile
Being so proud
Bringer of chaos
From whom dead hide
Forgiveness... not seeking
Nor to... be found
Screaming... in anger
Bind... in dark
Truth is denied
To all living kinds
God still forbids
Truth to be found
Yet he awaits
In deep cellar in dark
Assylum... awaits!
Alone struggling
To preserve life
Endless time
Soundless cries
Loosing what's left
In crazed mind
Asylum awaits
For deceived one
Forgiveness... not seeking
Nor to... be found
Screaming... in anger
You used to be better
Anything could amuse you
There was importance in every moment
You left too much things
And have no strength to see yourself youused to be
But now you just keep quiet
I see you get away
But I want you to know
I want your guts my hands are claws surrender now
your eyes show me you’re paralized I will attack
Sometimes I hurt you but I don’t know how
my eyes go to sleep when the other one comes
I am a stranger even for myself
the further I push you, the closer you are
The son of the rage and the enemy of love
oh please lighthouse show me the right path
to never come back to this disaster that I am right now
The angels come to whisper lullabies to save my fate
(my inner ghosts won’t let me break away the chains)
Jump into the void and learn to fly after the fall
(there’s no rest even in a moment suspended in time)
‘Cause I’m the only way, I am the air you breathe
The fears of an idealistic society
Strike down the individual
Moral oppression of cival rights
Denial of our so called freedom increasing
Eccentricity, is our cry of struggle
Echoes from the Tower battlements
Let them cast those who oppose the system
Into the dark deep cells of insanity
We shall escape this asylum, batter the walls of stone
Bitter farewell to the asylum, social resistance
Evade the elite armed forces
Who mindlessly scan this vastness
If discovered, use death as a first resort
So many years have gone by
So much time
So many days have turned to nights
So many wasted chances
Wonder about days to come
I burn inside
Time is slowly running out
Memories won't turn to dust
Days when we were all like one
We were brothers then
Now like leaves we are falling down
Falling one by one
I can see you every night
But you always walk away
Dreams try to reach the past
Memories won't turn to rust
Pain makes me hope again
Pleasure helps to forget
We were running towards the sun
One by one
With fire in our hearts
Burning bright
Greener grass and brighter light
Burning strong
Like the bridges glowing on
When we're gone
I can see us at the night
Waiting for the dawn
Last toast for those who've gone
Their shadows will live on
At the night when the day has gone
The fire's calm
Will you hold my hand so tight
When it's time to go?
Pain makes me hope again
Pleasure helps to forget
The path of life the one we know
We will fall alone
We will fall unknown
This path of life, the one we know
We will fall unknown
There's a poison running slowly through the veins
All reflections of the world have inflicted me with pain
And I'm moving on the winds and the winds are cold
I see the old ones carried to the grave
The young and blessed, they are born into the flames
And I'm moving on the winds and the winds are cold
I know the fools and the demons in disguise
All inside my heart to serve another lie
And the world spinning round, the wind so strong
Come here
Into the silence
Into the silence
Come here
Illusions of asylum
Oh it's your ivory soul
These are the trails who have come through a thousand times
These are the trails who have come through a thousand times
There's a poison running slowly through the veins
All reflections of the world have inflicted me with pain
And I'm moving through the winds and the winds are cold
Come here
Into the silence
Into the silence
Come here
Illusions of asylum
Come here
Into the silence
Into the silence
Come here
Illusions of asylum
Oh it's your ivory soul
Oh it's your ivory soul
Pissed stained mattress.
Canned dog food.
Straight jacket session.
Padded room
I see the light through a single foot
and I think I’m getting worse as the months goes by.
Ya just couldn’t live by the rules now you stay in the asylum.
Ya couldn’t fit in like we wanted but in here we can teach you.
And if ya cant live by our rule then you’ll die in the asylum.
Am I insane.
So they say.
Lights out at 8
Take the pills.
Shocking treatment.
Break your will.
Your progress report is looking grim and.
Were trying other meds for the state your in.
Out there you only make trouble for the passive ones.
We understand your mind was too strong for the thought control.
Committed.
-verse1-
"head's too loud, music's throbbing"
"painkillers just aren't working"
he's on a one-way road
but he don't know where it goes
-chorus-
he's taken all his chances
but everything's gone wrong
he doesn't want the pain
you know he's going insane
-verse2-
stuck in rut, trying to escape
he's lost his mind, its too late
there's one way out - his only fate
I'd lend you my mind but I'm crazy
I'd remember times but I'm carefree
So please sit on the sunny side of me
I send all the signs but they fail me
I'd fill in the forms but I get hazy
So please sit on the sunny side of me
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum here I come again
I'd lend you my crown but I'd get stable
I bend I must bend to the crazies
So please sit on the sunny side of me
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum here I come again
And I want to feel real not confused
Night and day
Night and day
Somebody else must be with me
Somebody else must be with me
Must be with me
I'm losing control of control again
I'm falling in love with love again
So please sit on the sunny side of me
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum
Asylum
Soft was the blade that cut my throat
Sweet was the poison I swallowed
Soft was the rope around my neck
And bliss the pain in which I swallowed
You found me shattered
My soul so fiercely battered
Lying on the floor
One glimpse of your eyes
I knew you could make me rise
Whole and strong again
Slow was the fall that crushed my bones
Warm the fire that burned me
Fresh the blood that escaped
And true the love love that hurt me
So please forgive me
For making us wait and see
If this love would reign true
I know now why I breathe
I know now why my heart beats
