"Sky Burial"

"Sky Burial"

[Tibetan mantra]
ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ

[lyrics]
Piercing through my lips
Fangs of raw desire
Sharp — the blood runs red
Grief is dripping slow
Drawing circles on the earth
Stealing everything away
All that fades and passes
Forgotten one by one
Tumbling to the depths
Not a moment's peace to find
Never granted, never mine
Weeping, crawling on the ground
A pulsing, living soul
Seized by the eagle
Up into the void
Rose into the sun and fell

[drop]

Remembering those words of comfort
A long and stretching shadow
Languid — the day fades out
A shivering melody
Art painted in a nightmare
Stealing everything away
All that never ends
Forgotten time and again
Rotting into nothing
Not a trace of warmth remaining
Never given, never there
Despair and peace — How?

[interlude]

Praying for salvation
Far away — Sarai
Inside my head
Fading into hazy skies
Fading
Washing in
Fading
Washing in
Fading
[end]
