Avidya
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Driven mad with suffering
We blindly cling to life
We remember only pain
We choose illusions
Pale shadows on the wall
We've always known the truth and turned away
Avidya-denied Nirvana
Avidya-shackled here in Samsarra
Arrogant in ignorance
We've lost our way
Empty words led the sheep astray
Hostage to hatred
We refuse to liberate
We have forgotten we are one
Tortured by existence
Still afraid to let it end
Familiarity breeds contempt
Self- Inflicted
The constant pain of life
These hollow shells we try to leave behind
Avidya-denied Nirvana
Avidya-shackled here in Samsarra
And we cling to this form
Still we hunger for flesh
We are condemned to be born
Again and again and again
This brief existence
An Echo in the well
A re-occuring dream of lonliness
Harboring attatchments
These chains that bind us here
The pain never quites us feel complete
Conquored and punished
Enjoyed and destroyed
Still desire brings us back again
Self- Inflicted
The wheel turns again
Until we learn the noble truth of pain
Avidya-denied Nirvana
Avidya-shackled here in Samsarra
And we cling to this form
Still we hunger for flesh
We are condemned to be born
Again and again and again
Illusion seperates
On a path of inner peace
Serenity is waiting in the void
Self-Inflicted
This chain of countless lives
Show me the way to another good world
