about
A story of a soldier fighting a war within himself, trying to discover the cause for his survival. Until he gets shot and is haunted by the ill feelings of the cause and its consequences. The Song is a conversation between a man and his self reflection. A discovery which makes him more inclined towards leaving this world as he asks for 50 ml of morphine from his captain, which would surely kill him.
This song took the longest time in its production. Sauvik concieved the idea of depicting the story of a soldier who fought 10 years of his life fighting a war all for political reasons and without knowing his destiny. He intially came up with the lyrics for the repeat verse until it took Sudipto to write the whole body of the song which eventually became an asset to the band. Ugyal had his mouth organ in the guitar pack, and these guys were stuck with idea of including it in the song. The orchestration of the song took a lot of time.Although the band wanted to have no drums in the song, but Sauvik's idea of introducing it right at the end during the guitar leads really payed rich dividends. Baka had a tough time recording the bass because it was to play a important role in the song as it was mostly void of drums. This, a vocal oriented song, according to Ugyal is Sudipto's best effort in the album.

lyrics
And when the end is near,
And you thought you have fought your fears
Ornamental and political smears
It's been a way your life has steered.
You're standing here all alone in the crowd
Hearing the voices you're trying to reach out
You know now there's just no way out
You wish that you could scream it just a bit loud.
It's just the dusk,
It's just the way
Of the rising Sun to say,
Keep moving on
Beg to survive
In these dark ways called life
You remember all the fallacies in steps
You kind of fall deeper within
You discover that you just fought a war
A soldier loses life in an amnesic world
Oh my lord there's so much to cry
Your son is just too young left now to fight
Your daughter coughs and wife leaves behind
But she too will be looking the stars in the sky.
O! Captain,
This blood is running in veins
I can see the heaven close shut the door.
Can't you see that I'm down with the ache of my life?
All I'm asking for is 50 ml more.
Never thought for a while
That this one shot could make you to die.
Promises, dreams you've made
Will just go away, just go away (in vain)
O! Captain,
My soul will be rightly in place
Ten years and I'm tired of this gore.
Hope you see that I'm down with the ache of my life.
Now I'm asking for please 50 ml more.
And you thought you have fought your fears
Ornamental and political smears
It's been a way your life has steered.
You're standing here all alone in the crowd
Hearing the voices you're trying to reach out
You know now there's just no way out
You wish that you could scream it just a bit loud.
It's just the dusk,
It's just the way
Of the rising Sun to say,
Keep moving on
Beg to survive
In these dark ways called life
You remember all the fallacies in steps
You kind of fall deeper within
You discover that you just fought a war
A soldier loses life in an amnesic world
Oh my lord there's so much to cry
Your son is just too young left now to fight
Your daughter coughs and wife leaves behind
But she too will be looking the stars in the sky.
O! Captain,
This blood is running in veins
I can see the heaven close shut the door.
Can't you see that I'm down with the ache of my life?
All I'm asking for is 50 ml more.
Never thought for a while
That this one shot could make you to die.
Promises, dreams you've made
Will just go away, just go away (in vain)
O! Captain,
My soul will be rightly in place
Ten years and I'm tired of this gore.
Hope you see that I'm down with the ache of my life.
Now I'm asking for please 50 ml more.
