Hapur (known earlier as Haripur) is a city in, as well as the headquarters of, Hapur district, in western Uttar Pradesh, India. Located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of New Delhi, the city is part of the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR). National Highway 24, connecting Delhi-Lucknow, passes through the city. Hapur is known as a manufacturing center for stainless steel pipes, sewing machines, and wood and paper products.
Hapur is said to have been founded in the 10th century. It was granted by Daulat Scindia to his French general Pierre Cuillier-Perron at the end of the 18th century. Under the British Raj, Hapur was within Meerut District, was surrounded by several fine groves, and carried on considerable trade in sugar, grain, cotton, timber, bamboo, and brass utensils. The important cavalry remount depot and farm of Babugarh adjoined the town.
Hapur (Haripur) is located at 28°43′N 77°47′E / 28.72°N 77.78°E / 28.72; 77.78. It has an average elevation of 213 meters (699 feet). It is bound on the north by Meerut, in the south by Bulandshahr, while Ghaziabad forms the southern and western limits. Amroha District (formerly Jyotiba Phule Agar) lies to the east. The river Ganges forms the eastern boundary and home to the sacred place known as 'Garhmukteshwar' where lakhs of people come every year for pilgrimage. The ground is not rocky and there are no mountains. Hapur is part of the Indus-Gangetic Plain, the soil composed of pleistocene and more recent alluvial sediments transported and deposited by river action from the Himalayan region. These alluvial deposits are unconsolidated. Lithologically, sediments consist of clay, silt and fine to coarse sand. Land is very fertile for growing crops, especially wheat, sugarcane and vegetables. Also, the river 'kali nadi' issues from the outskirts of the city.
They come out of nowhere
And push you outta control
Perplexed you feel
Your senses scream they're real
Obscuring thoughts are all around you
The shadows grow beneath your scared, sweat skin
[CHORUS]
Welcome to the horror show
You realized there is nowhere to run
The unknown came to fright
Paranoia is guiding your life
Welcome to the horror show
You realized there is nowhere to run
The unknown came to fright
Obsession is ruling your mind
Alone, there's no resort
Conspiring friends you can't trust
Trapped by your instincts
Nobody around to believe
Wide eyes are always all around you
The shadows grow beneath your scared, sweat skin
[CHORUS]
Helpless you crawl
Insanity beast devours
Voices from within
Announcing the final hour
[Solo]
Corroding inside your brain,
Thoughts that won't give up
Devising anxiety, seducing your soul
Evidences so unreal, eyes and ears misled to feel betrayed
The nightmare now is on
