I'm an effigy
A parody of
Who I appear to be
Put your flaming torches under me
I'm an effigy

Who I appear to be
Put your flaming torches under me
I'm an effigy
A parody of
Who I appear to be
Put your flaming torches under me
Endless so far in myself, follow me
fade to Tibetan singer, Yungchen Lhamo
