An oath proclaimed in desperation, yet illusion's power covers the soul; thus forgetfulness ensues. What use is there in such a life?
Breeding, dying, confusion, loss of mind
Birthed in ignorance, ravaged by worms, forced to consume pustulence, bound by the womb
Awaken soul to divine life! Give up your false identity!
Suffocation, torture, hellish abomination, purest revelation
This is our birth in total darkness and ignorance, and our death is nearby.

Relentless Suffering
02:58
|

Relentless suffering, none are exempt. No one escapes nature's sword. Better to find a way out of this eternal slaughterhouse.
No one lives for long; these short lives filled with misery. Why continue such charade; all others have fallen before me.
Longing for life yet receiving death, it is entirely false. Not knowing who I am, I stay in darkness.
Awaken sleeping soul! Thinking we're born and meant for death, we live not!
Accepting the fear of death; let go of such illusion!

Quest for Immortality
07:38
|

Behold the Lord of the underworld, master of mystics, fulfill your
eternal duty, carry out His order, Lord of life and death!
Oh indwelling spirit, our obeisances unto you! We are your servants, direct us!
By this servitude shall we attain and retain our eternal immortality,
which is our original nature. This is the self, this is life, this is reality.
Oh indwelling spirit we offer our obeisances unto you, all glory to your
divine self!
The way by which we know you is by your grace alone. This soul full of
sorrow wishes to attain such infinite mercy.
Behold the Lord of the entire world, Master of mystics. Now go soul
and fulfill your eternal duty, and carry out every order.
