Return To Nothingness
01:40
|
|||
|
The body of man is like
Is like a flicker of lightning
Existing only to return
To return to nothingness
GONE...
And a million things leave no trace
LOOSED...
And it flows through the galaxies
Like a clap of thunder
Like the sound of an echo
Like the water of a mirage
Like a mass of clouds in the sky
The Great Way has no gate
There are a thousand paths that lead to it
If you pass through the barrier
You walk the universe alone
GONE...
And a million things leave no trace
LOOSED...
And it flows through the galaxies
Like a clap of thunder
Like the sound of an echo
Like a sprout from a rotten seed
Like games for one who wishes to die

The Mountain's Shadow
01:47
|

|
A blow like a bolt of lightning
The world turns on its hinge
With the sound of my voice
I shatter this mortal darkness
I cleansed the mirror of my heart
Now it reflects the blazing moon
Ocean's dried, the Void bursts
It echoes to the skies
I roar like the Dragon...
The Mountain's shadow trembling
I roar like the Dragon...
The Mountain's shadow trembling
I cleansed the mirror of my heart
Now it reflects the blazing moon
Ocean's dried, the Void bursts
It echoes to the skies
I roar like the Dragon...
The Mountain's shadow trembling
I roar like the Dragon...
The Mountain's shadow trembling

Don't Let It Gather Dust

This world is cruel illusion
Your mind is a clear mirror.
Time to wipe away confusion
- Don't let it gather dust
This world is cruel illusion
Your mind is a clear mirror
Time to wipe away confusion
- Don't let it gather dust
Be alive till they say to you
Die! Die!
Be alive till they say to you
Die! Die!
Be alive till they say to you
Die! Die!
Let he who opens his eyes see...
This world is cruel illusion
Your mind is a clear mirror
Time to wipe away confusion
- Don't let it gather dust
This world is cruel illusion
Your mind is a clear mirror
Time to wipe away confusion
- Don't let it gather dust
Be alive till they say to you
Die! Die!
Be alive till they say to you
Die! Die!
Be alive till they say to you
Die! Die!
Let he who opens his eyes see...

Beyond The Triple World
01:36
|
|||
|
Cut these Gods to pieces
My sword is kept ever sharpened
Where the blacksmith's fire burns
The void gnashes its teeth
Thus a final night falls
I am eaten of the furnace
I'll lay this bag of bones
Beyond the triple world
Now all grows as dark
As dark as the palace of Hell
The king of Hades has decreed
Tomorrow I shall be his slave
Now all grows as dark
As dark as the palace of Hell
The king of Hades has decreed
Tomorrow I shall be his slave

The Cry Of Cicadas
02:27
|
|||
|
Life is the breaking dawn
A fountain of light into the very mind
Not a thing, and yet it appears before me
Not a thing, and yet it appears before me
Death is the setting sun
Spring growth that shrivels in autumn
Waste no thought on this process
For it has no purpose
Nothing in the cry of cicadas
Suggests they are about to die
Life is the breaking dawn
A fountain of light into the very mind
Not a thing, and yet it appears before me
Not a thing, and yet it appears before me
Death is the setting sun
Spring growth that shrivels in autumn
Waste no thought on this process
For it has no purpose
Nothing in the cry of cicadas
Suggests they are about to die

Breathing in
Breathing out
Moving forward
Moving back
Beware of gnawing nothingness
Your teeth will surely crack
Breathing in
Breathing out
Moving forward
Moving back
In the midst of emptiness
Everything fades to black
Breathing in
Breathing out
Moving forward
Moving back
Beware of gnawing nothingness
Your teeth will surely crack
Breathing in
Breathing out
Moving forward
Moving back
Beware of gnawing nothingness
Your teeth will surely crack

Finally Out Of Reach
01:13

Finally out of reach
No bondage, no dependency
How calm is the ocean?
How towering is the void?
Form itself is emptiness
Emptiness itself is form
Everything just as it is
As it is
As is
The world's a mote of dust
Behold heaven's round mirror
Slip past shape and shadow
Sit side by side with nothing
Form itself is emptiness
Emptiness itself is form
Everything just as it is
As it is
As is
The mind of the past - ungraspable
The mind of the future - ungraspable
The mind of the present - ungraspable
Finally out of reach
No bondage, no dependency
How calm is the ocean?
How towering is the void?
This world's a mote of dust
Behold heaven's round mirror
Everything just as it is
As it is
As is

Done With This Life
01:12

Done with this life
45 years piling up sins
Done with this life
45 years digging my grave
Done with this life
I have not sought heaven
I do not fear hell
I plunge into the under world
I plunge into the under world
I plunge into the under world
I plunge into the under world
I plunge into the under world
I plunge into the under world

The Dead Turn Into Birds
01:37
|
|||
|
When you are both alive and dead
Thoroughly dead - to yourself...
Dust blown into my eyes
The triple world is narrow
The dawn fades into dusk
The dead turn into birds
Adrift between the Earth and sky
Companions in the sky of death
When you are both alive and dead
Thoroughly dead - to yourself...
My dream goes wandering
Over these withered fields
The dawn fades into dusk
The dead turn into birds
Adrift between the Earth and sky
Companions in the sky of death
When you are both alive and dead
Thoroughly dead to yourself...
The dawn fades into dusk
The dead turn into birds

When You See The Smoke
01:23

So it's time to go...
They say the journey is a long one
Sweep away the pile of ashes
Into the autumn waters
When you see the smoke
Do not think it's the fields they're burning
Leaves never fall in vain
All around bells are tolling
Coming, I clenched my hands
Going, I spread them wide
Blossoms fall the way of all flesh
In this world of flowers
So it's time to go...
They say the journey is a long one
Sweep away the pile of ashes
Into the autumn waters
When you see the smoke
Do not think it's the fields they're burning
Leaves never fall in vain
All around bells are tolling
