Ashoka (Devanāgarī: अशोक, IAST: Aśoka, IPA: [aˈɕoːkə], ca. 304–232 BC), also known as Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from ca. 269 BC to 232 BC. One of India's greatest emperors, Ashoka reigned over most of present-day India after a number of military conquests. His empire stretched from present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan in the west, to the present-day Bangladesh and the Indian state of Assam in the east, and as far south as northern Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. He conquered the kingdom named Kalinga, which none of his ancestors had conquered starting from Chandragupta Maurya. His reign was headquartered in Magadha (present-day Bihar). He embraced Buddhism after witnessing the mass deaths of the Kalinga War, which he himself had waged out of a desire for conquest. He was later dedicated to the propagation of Buddhism across Asia and established monuments marking several significant sites in the life of Gautama Buddha. Ashoka was a devotee of ahimsa (nonviolence), love, truth, tolerance and vegetarianism. Ashoka is remembered in history as a philanthropic administrator. In the history of India, Ashoka is referred to as Samraat Chakravartin Ashoka – the "Emperor of Emperors Ashoka".

Genres: Drama, Family,Hey,
So you think that you're right and you're original?
So you think that you're tight?
But you're a typical cynical individual whimsical
To the take,
But never give at all?
You're fucking miserable ways are going to kill us all!
But now I'm the cynic
And your best response to this shit is
Is this it?
In it I give a moral
You fucking bin it.
Been there, done that,
but sorry geez I live in it.
Ans I understand the complexities within it.
The whole thing is:
Do as I say not what I do.
I don't think I care that much to follow through.
So join the queue,
fuck that shit
I'll follow you.
But don't you think that you're big because you're dependable!
Or is it something you like just being sensible.
Constable cool!
Logic to the rule,
frowning aloud at the clowning around of a fool!
Life can be so damn fine
If you let loose a little
Pressure builds up inside,
We must escape the middle.
Escape through both extremes;
Deep dreams to hallucinogenic riddles.
My way seeks no ways peace
Like I said,
We all lean from the middle.
[(solo)]
Life can be so damn fine
If you let loose a little
Pressure builds up inside,
We must escape the middle.
Escape through both extremes;
Deep dreams to hallucinogenic riddles.
My way seeks no ways peace
Like I said,
We all lean from the middle.
Hey,
Soul-searchers and Shadow-lurkers;
Two side of the white line.
Giving the last respects to my city before it unwinds.
Peoples,
Who are trying to be better that equals put the pressure up.
Battles,
People shaking their rattles and putting flags up.
The federals are
Cowards abusing the power for the people to wrack(?) up.
But the people are wrapped up
but it's taking time for the people to stand up
Because time and time again
The people who are right are put in a round up.
Their theories are bound up
So fuck my rights
I'm tearing the ground up!
The big and the bad,
the bold, the best.
They're taking control of the situation,
Blunt knives will help you confess.
You try to run and just like the rest...
They're taking their guns
Filling them with arms
And will a boom!
Taking out your chest.
I'm making a statement
And paving my way through time.
Rhymes are just a medium
Lives are on the line.
If you relate the things that you see
To the things that you think.
You might be overwhelmed by the stench of the city
stink?
Supposedly our race is enlightened
By that alone,
Shit! I'm frightened
I double dare any fucker who wants to put that in writing!
The clouds are swelling,
Thunderstorms are dwelling,
Eletrical static tension's inventing lightening provisions.
This is pre-superstition.
They're day to day fucking vision.
Ashok is for telling division
Resulting in blood collisions
What?
Ninety five open your eyes and realise
That people die and people live their lives living lies
But...
Life can be so damn fine
If you let loose a little
Pressure builds up inside,
We must escape the middle.
Escape through both extremes;
Deep dreams to hallucinogenic riddles.
My way seeks no ways peace
Like I said,
We all lean from the middle.
Life can be so damn fine, oh!
If you let loose a little
Pressure builds up inside,
We must escape the middle.
Escape through both extremes;
Deep dreams to hallucinogenic riddles.
My way seeks no ways peace
Like I said,
We all lean from the middle.
