The Koli people are historically an ethnic group native to Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana states.
In Mumbai, Native Christians include Koli East Indian Catholics, who were converted by the Portuguese during the 16th century.
The Kolis of Gujarat intermixed with Rajputs due to the practice of hypergamous marriage, which was commonly used to enhance or secure social status as, for example, with the Nairs and Nambudiri Brahmins of Kerala. Some Kolis had also once held small princedoms before the British Raj period and some were still significant landholders and tenants in the twentieth century. However, most Kolis had lost their once-equal standing with the Patidar community due to the land reforms of the Raj period and, for example, most Kolis in the Surashtra region of Gujarat were still occupied as agricultural labourers or tenant cultivators in the 1990s.

Ravens fly over
Clouds coming thunder
And I want to be alive
Flesh becomes metal
Veins merging wires
Mechanize these eyes
Brain burning shutdown
Stronger than millions
And I want to be alive
Memory overload
Electrical showers
Mechanize these eyes
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
All the fear inside
Can't understand
A metamorphic mindtrap
Bloodbath
Rejuvenate
Manipulate
No control on the energy
Changing in front of
Mind and body
Machines that thrive
On the essence of science
Souls are alien
Everything mind and machine
Everything mind and machine
Ghost trigger blind wave
Meltdown dismay
My computerized mind
Terror, dismemberment
Anxiety, I'm restricted
I want to be alive
Rebirth my only answer
I give into the cancer
Mechanize these eyes
Laser burning through
And I'm mangled in truth
Now I know
Now I know I'm alive
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
Mechanize these eyes
Mechanize my mind
Now I know I'm alive
Now I know I'm alive
Mechanize these eyes
Mechanize my mind
Now I know I'm alive
Now I know I'm alive
All the fear inside
Can't understand
A metamorphic mindtrap
Bloodbath
Rejuvenate
Manipulate
No control on the energy
