Spare a thought for the souls
|
Who cannot leave this earth
|
The attachments bind so tightly, not a chance
|
Not a chance of a new birth
|
|
The river gently beckons
|
But the answer is no
|
Gripping their illusions
|
They cannot let them go
|
|
Hunger for the flesh
|
Leads them to a weaker heart
|
Mortals who imprisoned themselves
|
Let them have a new start
|
|
Wishing to hold onto life and all its games
|
Singing their lament song
|
Holding back the change
|
|
They came here for to dance
|
To learn and not to cling
|
Holding onto life
|
As if it were the important thing
|
|
Hunger for the flesh
|
Hunger for security
|
Caught up in the mesh
|
Caught up for eternity
|
|
Hunger for the flesh
|
Hunger for security
|
Caught up in the mesh
|
Caught up for eternity
|
|
The river gently beckons
|
But the answer is no
|
Gripping their illusions
|
They cannot let them go
|
|
Hunger for the flesh
|
Leads them to a weaker heart
|
Mortals who imprison themselves
|
Let them have a new start
|
Let them have a new start
|
|
Hunger for the flesh
|
Hunger for security
|
Caught up in the mesh
|
Caught up for eternity
|
|
Hunger for the flesh
|
Hunger for security
|
Caught up in the mesh
|
Holding back the change
|
