Sanskrit Hari (Devanagari: हरि) is in origin a colour term for yellowish hues, including yellow, golden, yellowish-brown or reddish brown, fallow or khaki, pale yellow, greenish or green-yellow. It has important symbolism in the Rigveda and hence in Hinduism; in Rigvedic symbolism, it unites the colours of Soma, the Sun, and bay horses under a single term.
The word Hari is widely used in later Sanskrit and Prakrit literature, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh religions. It appears as 650th name of Vishnu in the Vishnu sahasranama of the Mahabharata and hence rose to special importance in Hindu Vaishnavism.
The Sanskrit word is cognate with Avestan zari, with the same meaning (zari has (dubiously) been identified as the first part of the name of Zarathustra). The English words gold and yellow (from Germanic gulþan, gelwaz) as well as Latin helvus "light-yellow" are from the same Indo-European root, reconstructed as *ǵʰelH-. In Greek Hari means grace or kindness. Some words in non-Indo-European languages which fell under Hindu dominance during the medieval period also have loanwords derived from the Sanskrit term, including the word for "day" in Malay and Indonesian, and the word for "king" in Tagalog.

I'm alive
[Verse 1:]
I'm trying hard to loose control
My heart grows darker than my soul
Do you remember who I used to I?
I can hear a voice thats calling out
To save me from this pain
[Chorus:]
I'm alive!
I'm living in the underworld
My life is an open wound - that you leave bleeding
Save me now!
I'm drowning in the underworld
If I can't break away - I'm lost forever
[Verse 2:]
I always asked the question why
I hear the answer was a lie
Will someone notice if the heavens collide
There's a feeling deep inside of me
That I can't understand
[Chorus:]
I'm alive!
I'm living in the underworld
My life is an open wound - that you leave bleeding
Save me now!
I'm drowning in the underworld
If I can't break away - I'm lost forevermore
