Crispian Mills wrote the lyrics and sang this song, not any member of the Prodigy. He was the lead singer for Kula Shaker. If you're familiar with them, you'll know that their music has a heavy Indian/Hindu influence, so this is no different. The song's about how the Western world is the dominant force in the world economically, politically, and therefore culturally, and effectively extinguishing other cultures simply because they can't coexist with our way of thinking. However, "death" in Hindu philosophy has not the negative connotation it has in the West; its more of an ascension to a higher state. The Sanskrit lyrics are just a simple prayer, a chant.
