Ah, awakened from the black dawn,
never before have I seen this world in such light,
transcending both shade and light, beyond life and death,
beyond sorrow and joy where only pure existence lies
Still as the golden waters
The mind is at ease
Of Erfat to serenity I submit
Finally the drop has become one with the whole
Pain eternal
Transcend and rise above
Still as the golden waters
The breath of a dying god
As you struggle to find a way out of this maze called life,
grappling in the dark, lost without direction
I can hear the breath of this dying god
so weak and tired from this endless search
Open your eyes and see through the veil
Past and future are mere illusions
Your hopes are only distractions
Life is nothing but a dream passing fast
Until death claims you
In surrender and sensitivity one will attain
Transcend and rise above the rotting corpse of a dying god
