Ongole (Telugu: ఒంగోలు), is a City and a Municipal Corporation in Prakasam district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is the administrative headquarters of Prakasam District.
Previously Prakasham District was known as 'Ongole' District, this district was renamed as Prakasam in order to pay homage to the great patriot and Andhra Leader, Tanguturi Prakasam Panthulu, also known as Andhra Kesari (Lion of Andhra) who was born in Kanuparthi village of this district
Ongole is famous for its Ongolu Gitta (Ongole breed of oxen). This is one of the major Zebu cattle breeds in the world.
The City's history goes back to the era of the Mauryas and Satavahanas who ruled most of what is now present day Andhra Pradesh. A few inscriptions dating to the Satavahana period were found in a village called China Ganjam, near Ongole. After the Satavahanas, this place came into the limelight again during the Kakatiya dynasty, when the nearby towns of Motupalli and Voda Revu served as major seaports. Ongole is also mentioned in the inscriptions of the Pallava rulers of the 3rd and 4th Century A.D.The city was also ruled by Krishna Deva Raya.
Even now in heaven there were angels carrying savage weapons
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Does our ruin benefit to earth?
Does it help the grass to grow?
The sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you too?
Have you'd passed through this night?
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Where you're going you're not coming back from
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
This great evil
Where's it come from?
Had still the end of the world?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us?
Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known
Run, run, run
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Are you righteous?
Kind?
Does your confidence lie in this?
Are you loved by all?
Do you imagine your suffering will be any less
because you loved goodness and truth?
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
