Samsara
by Björn Åhsberg
Verse 1
The wheel of samsara, I'm stuck in the transmigration
Let me jump off the train before the next station
From body to body, suffering pleasures
Always perplexed bewildered by the puzzling splendor
What I thought to be light is actually darkness
Always ending up as trash, to be honest
Marching guided by misleading marketing
Like: "You will be happy if you get all these things"
Getting fooled even though it's appearently untrue
Gonna fight the false ego with some spiritual kung fu
In other words with Harinam chanting
In this dense dark world, the holy name is the lantern
Eight million four hundred thousand species
We go through in the cycle of birth and death, leave it!
Let yourself be brought to Brahma-Nirvana
Many means of which i recommend the Maha Mantra
Refrain
Tied up in barb wire, samsara x4
Verse 2
When truth comes, the one you think you are will get burnt
To ashes and put in a sepulchral urn
Spread by the wind, elements back to the origin
Longing for that end of the war within
The hungry demon inside me, I'm not gonna feed him
Cause I know, if I do, I'll not get freedom
Break them chains, I've had enough
of chewing the thorn, chewing the chewed and bein' a bluff
My spiritual identity will manifest
And I will transcend this mundane bag of flesh
Yukta-Vairagya, higher than mere renunciation
Above matter, positive engagement
The lotus awakens in the light of the moon
Patient and resolute when I take my refuge
Under the padma, of my guardian
Swim across Viraj, I won't fall again
