Sanskrit (/ˈsænskrɪt/; Sanskrit: saṃskṛtam [səmskr̩t̪əm] or saṃskṛta, originally saṃskṛtā vāk, "refined speech") is the primary sacred language of Hinduism, a philosophical language in Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism, and a literary language that was in use as a lingua franca in Greater India. It is a standardised dialect of Old Indo-Aryan, originating as Vedic Sanskrit and tracing its linguistic ancestry back to Proto-Indo-Iranian and Proto-Indo-European. Today it is listed as one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and is an official language of the state of Uttarakhand. As one of the oldest Indo-European languages for which substantial written documentation exists, Sanskrit holds a prominent position in Indo-European studies.

Sanskrit continues to be widely used as a ceremonial language in Hindu religious rituals and Buddhist practice in the form of hymns and chants. Spoken Sanskrit has been revived in some villages with traditional institutions, and there are attempts to enhance its popularisation.

All in a day, forcing us, moving us, changing us, soothing us
And in a way, playing your scene right up on the screen like it's yesterday
Yesterday's gone and it's better that way
All in a day, written in Sanskrit again
We are the souls outside and all divided
Without a doubt, we've found all undecided
Here in this age, ripping us, bruising us, stripping us, using us
Time like a cage, rattling the bars, falling like stars
Words on a page, meaningless, dreamingless, seemingless
Here in this age, to be written in Sanskrit again
We are the souls outside and all divided
Without a doubt, we've found all undecided
We are the souls outside and all divided
Without a doubt, we've found all undecided
[Incomprehensible]
All in a day, forcing us, moving us, changing us, soothing us
And in a way, playing your scene right up on the screen like it's yesterday
Yesterday's gone and it's better that way
