| [00:10.77] |
Let your name echo on, |
| [00:14.47] |
off my tongue, |
| [00:15.52] |
I fear no timely death. |
| [00:17.73] |
|
| [00:21.93] |
All mortal suffering I defy, |
| [00:27.00] |
with faith no savior ought deny. |
| [00:35.87] |
I watch the wraiths as they're gathering, |
| [00:40.72] |
preceding Yama, on a buffalo steed, |
| [00:47.91] |
he's bearing down with malevolence, |
| [00:51.85] |
on me. |
| [00:57.27] |
|
| [01:01.96] |
Should I relent and lay trust in your goodness, |
| [01:06.58] |
in descent through the crust in to darkness? |
| [01:10.52] |
My Shiva, I'm fading. Don't forsake me, defend, |
| [01:19.34] |
spare me this end. |
| [01:30.77] |
|
| [01:53.52] |
There is a slightest hinting breeze. |
| [01:57.52] |
Dare I awake to what surrounds my vicinity? |
| [02:02.90] |
Rising up I find myself embracing sights familiar, |
| [02:08.77] |
still, like homelands left in wake of war. |
| [02:13.44] |
|
| [02:16.38] |
And what form is this that lies before me now? |
| [02:20.82] |
Yama is your name, ol' tyrant infamed, |
| [02:25.81] |
Gripping your noose with cadaverous jade hands. |
| [02:30.00] |
Oh Shiva, you've fell death, |
| [02:34.01] |
indebting corporeal, |
| [02:37.45] |
we who so anxiously drew breath. |
| [02:43.45] |
|
| [02:59.39] |
But as living laws crumble, |
| [03:05.33] |
we've lost sight of justice, |
| [03:07.89] |
perhaps not deities, |
| [03:10.64] |
but our own mortality instills in us all our morality. |
| [03:20.58] |
Deathless existence has become the worst fate I'd imagine. |
| [03:35.96] |
Return mortal curse. |
