๐ Lyrics
A pilgrim in the path of the middle
Contemplating vastness of thoughts
A legion of demons is born from the weak and fragile psyche
Their endless urge to devour our inner selves
Crystalline as my mind should be
A well of righteousness is what I was meant to be
Words said, they tend to taste bitter than poison
Watch the gates of the deceiver, for it is full of spite and lies
Avoid the surge of endless karma, a consequence of vile speech
The duality of the serpent tends to turn symmetry into shapeless forms
I disconnect from dubiety
Of thinking and speaking
I fulfill my task
External acts and facts have no worth on themselves
An ethical mind must be the breed of mystical vision
The taste of divinity ablazes a prismatic zenith
Life and death are purely symmetrical like a dance of swans
Above all truths, the sowing must begin from inside out
And the reaping must be gentle as the touch of a child
Like the movement of the tides
I am a man who is ready to live and die
Manifest kindness in the void within us all
Creating a bond between body and mind
Living under the siege of the Cosmic Law
The crossroads split into a quandary
Does the fire cleanses or consumes?
Find your temple in this vessel of flesh
The lunar body is a humble servant but a terrible master
Contemplation of impurity
Suffering
Impermanence
Allow vacuity to spread over your unself
Behold the actors playing the role of sadness and sorrow
Their masks show tears and smiles, but their faces are a cold mirage
Be like the watchful audience, don't let the acts fool your sight
When the curtain closes, the wise man leaves everything behind it
Apotheosis
Looking in the mirror that reflects my true self
I must find understanding
Acknowledge the sickness in the roots of transgression
To extirpate the plague inside
The tree of life and give it birth to a sacred orchard
The madman finally reached his home
Contemplating vastness of thoughts
A legion of demons is born from the weak and fragile psyche
Their endless urge to devour our inner selves
Crystalline as my mind should be
A well of righteousness is what I was meant to be
Words said, they tend to taste bitter than poison
Watch the gates of the deceiver, for it is full of spite and lies
Avoid the surge of endless karma, a consequence of vile speech
The duality of the serpent tends to turn symmetry into shapeless forms
I disconnect from dubiety
Of thinking and speaking
I fulfill my task
External acts and facts have no worth on themselves
An ethical mind must be the breed of mystical vision
The taste of divinity ablazes a prismatic zenith
Life and death are purely symmetrical like a dance of swans
Above all truths, the sowing must begin from inside out
And the reaping must be gentle as the touch of a child
Like the movement of the tides
I am a man who is ready to live and die
Manifest kindness in the void within us all
Creating a bond between body and mind
Living under the siege of the Cosmic Law
The crossroads split into a quandary
Does the fire cleanses or consumes?
Find your temple in this vessel of flesh
The lunar body is a humble servant but a terrible master
Contemplation of impurity
Suffering
Impermanence
Allow vacuity to spread over your unself
Behold the actors playing the role of sadness and sorrow
Their masks show tears and smiles, but their faces are a cold mirage
Be like the watchful audience, don't let the acts fool your sight
When the curtain closes, the wise man leaves everything behind it
Apotheosis
Looking in the mirror that reflects my true self
I must find understanding
Acknowledge the sickness in the roots of transgression
To extirpate the plague inside
The tree of life and give it birth to a sacred orchard
The madman finally reached his home
