Lyrics
On the grand journey, we meet and open our eyes,
Even when closed, with unwavering resolve in our hearts
This belief itself extinguishes like a flame, and brings even
moonlight, sunlight, heaven, and hell into focus
Leading illusions to develop into reality, ascending the spiral,
Climbing towards the sky In the heat of battles chained together,
What do you see?
Countless resolves
Once caught in the spiral of endless battles
Yesterday's shaky retreat was lame
But now I can forgive that version of you
Endless variety, that was your frontline back then
The best strategy, prepared to perfection
Form is emptiness
Under the Sal Tree, pondering the uncertainty of this life
Never to waver again
All of humanity's karma, bring it forth
Offer it all up, from beginning to end
With my mind’s eye open, the lotus blooms;
My craft refined, zen embodied
My body ablaze with fierce intensity
Lighting strikes under the divine wind
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
All experiences in life, whether walking, sitting, or lying down,
Is nourishment for the living
There's nothing to fear amid the blue flames, so be it
They light up the path
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
Snatching up virtues from this mundane world to the Six Realms,
Receiving blessings from the dragon soaring above
Don't worry, leave it to me
Whether I face demons or the Buddha, I'll have no problem
There’s no proof, but my intuition speaks
A red spider lily falls directly down from the heavens
The end is near; will it be a curse or a blessing?
Not just words, I’ll prove it with my actions
Even the calamities above take my side as I claim the peak
From the foot to the summit, I blaze the battle line
I wait my turn in the sprawling line that extends before me
The final terminus, I stand above the fallen
I’ll carry this era on my back, from now on and forever
True to myself, guided by my compass, it’s all up to me
What do you want to do? If that’s your truth, then act on it
Follow your own heart
Draw what your heart envisions
Your heart itself is the world
Suffering is only the count of your loneliness
This song makes the wilted lotus bloom
To preside over rebirth means embracing both sides
Destruction too follows logic and absurdity
But I’ll accept all of it
Together, we’ll flow and head to new realms
As a transmigrating monk, I have no regrets about the past
Free from sorrow, free from thought, I’ve reached the peak
The cycle of good and evil, light and darkness, hail and flame
Ego, conquest, the end, divine current
Never to waver again
All of humanity's karma, bring it forth
Offer it all up, from beginning to end
With my mind’s eye open, the lotus blooms;
My craft refined, zen embodied
My body ablaze with fierce intensity
Lighting strikes under the divine wind
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
All experiences in life, whether walking, sitting, or lying down,
Is nourishment for the living
There's nothing to fear amid the blue flames, so be it
Together, until our spirits burn out completely
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
Snatching up virtues from this mundane world to the Six Realms,
Receiving blessings from the dragon soaring above
Don't worry, leave it to me
Whether I face demons or the Buddha, I'll have no problem
The cycle of good and evil, light and darkness, hail and flame
