Masala chai (literally "mixed-spice tea") is a beverage from the Indian subcontinent made by brewing tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs.
By itself, chai or cha is merely the generic word for "tea" in many European and Asian languages. The widespread form chai comes from Persian چای chay.[citation needed] This derives from Mandarin Chinese chá, which passed across the Silk Road to Central Asia and Persia, where it picked up the Persian grammatical suffix -yi before passing on to Russian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, etc. However, for many English speakers who refer to ordinary tea as "tea", the word "chai" has come to imply "masala chai".
"Chai" (tea) is a ubiquitous beverage throughout South Asia. Street vendors called "chai wallahs" (sometimes spelled "chaiwalas") are a common sight, although coffee is a more popular beverage in some southern parts of India. Chai is also a popular item in restaurants known as Irani cafés or the genre of South Asian restaurants known as Chai Khanas or Ghahve Khane.

Genres: Horror,Watching the sequence of sounds
Coming out of your mouth
But the snore is too loud
Follow the hands as they move
Try to make out your move
But my brain doesn't want to
Silent call for you
What have I done to you
Kill and run, kill and run
I'm one of the dirty guns
Kill and run, kill and run
A bullet through your heart
Interpret the eyes as they die
Should i cry should I love
Your poor lashes blow
Victim of sensory love
You cry over my
An innocent call
Silent call for you
What have I done to you
Kill and run, kill and run
I'm one of the dirty guns
Kill and run, kill and run
A bullet through your heart
Kill and run, kill and run
I'm one of the dirty guns
Kill and run, kill and run
