A veranda or verandah is a roofed opened gallery or porch. It is also described as an open pillared gallery, generally roofed, built around a central structure. It is often partly enclosed by a railing and frequently extends across the front and sides of the structure.
The word verandah may have been an adaptation of the Portuguese or older Spanish varanda (baranda or barandilla in modern Spanish), referring to a railing, balustrade or balcony. The distinctive style of Indian architecture evolved from a hybrid of east and west. The veranda is one of the many new hybrid architectural elements.
The word "verandah" is a malformation of the original Sanskrit word that somewhat survives in Bengali[citation needed]. The word is a culmination of two words: "Vahir"( "বাহির" /Outside) and "Awndar" ("অন্দর" /inside a room)[citation needed]. It means something that is considered outside but situated inside a room (or covered area).
Although the form "verandah" is correct and very common, some authorities prefer the version without an h (the Oxford English Dictionary gives the h version as a variant, and the Guardian Style Guide says "veranda not verandah").

Genres: Comedy,the eyes of a billion people
are watching the sky
the day has come, the majesty's arrived
screaming and crying
a mankind in despair
but we should know we can't go on this way...
when the sirens call
when the sirens call
when the sirens call
don't be afraid, when it's all over now
save the action in your mind
worn out, at a loss, lost in paradise
the sound of sirens everywhere
power, the infinite universe
death, the past will fade away...
chorus
oh it's too late
when the sirens call
no matter who you were before, before
oh it's too late
when the sirens call
but it's you they wanted dead
when the sirens call
when the sirens call
when the sirens call
the world is shocked, crying out for help
face the mirror, all we see is pain
a second chance, they've come to save our souls
annihilation to animate the world
lost, it's coming down to earth
death comes nearer to take lifes place
chorus
when the sirens call
