Lyrics
Ten Courts Of Diyu
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.
A maze of dark existence – chambers subterranean
Ten are the courts of Diyu at the edge of night and mind
Beneath the kings of Yama – atonement send forth their eyes
And judgement from their wisdom brings your punishment to light
Where our universe expands the afterlife
Crossing the belief of every sinner blind
Left behind – brought again down to where fortune lies
While souls are passing slowly, courts of Diyu open up
All sins they have committed dress in rain the eastern Sun
Beneath the kings of Yama – atonement send forth their eyes
And judgement from their wisdom brings your punishment to light
Where our universe expands the afterlife
Crossing the belief of every sinner blind
Left behind – brought again down to where fortune lies
Incarnation – to return and to be reborn again –
May no voice remain unheard as in silence you repent
To the courts of Diyu send
To the courts of Diyu send
Where our universe expands the afterlife
Crossing the belief of every sinner blind
Left behind – brought again down to where fortune lies
Where our universe expands the afterlife
Crossing the belief of every sinner blind
Left behind – brought again down to where fortune lies
