The Buddhist vihara at Sanchi, famous for its Great Stupa is located at Sanchi Town in Raisen District of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India, it is 46 km north-east of Bhopal.
The Great Stupa at Sanchi is the oldest stone structure in India and was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka the Great in the 3rd century BCE. Its nucleus was a simple hemispherical brick structure built over the relics of the Buddha. It was crowned by the chatra, a parasol-like structure symbolising high rank, which was intended to honour and shelter the relics. The construction work of this stupa was overseen by Ashoka's wife, Devi herself, who was the daughter of a merchant of Vidisha. Sanchi was also her birthplace as well as the venue of her and Ashoka's wedding. In the 1st century BCE, four elaborately carved toranas (ornamental gateways) and a balustrade encircling the entire structure were added.
Sunrise in the city
Our soldiers are coming home
After 7 years of blablabla
She's waiting by the docks
With a picture in her hands
Of her one and only love
Others are still waiting
While families reunite
With the ones they missed so much
She's still standing alone
Now everyone else has gone home
A soldier walks up to her
with a picture of her in his hand
He said, sorry about your man
No one could have saved him
Sorry to say he isn't coming home
Numbness fills her body, weekening her knees
She wants to run away
Memories come alive, of how it used to be
Before he went away
So many things on her mind,
so many things she wants to know
did he miss me when he was alive
did he suffer or did he just go
he said lady he missed you and
said he'll always love you
sorry to say he isn't coming home
you should be proud he died a man
fighting for his country
sorry to say he isn't coming home
She's still on her own
Tells herself she should have known
That some soldiers fall in war
And don't come home
Now it's time to say goodbye
Trying so hard not to cry
Hoping that some day
