Eternal Lotus
A ringing bell muffled by earth
A sign of life from the catacombs
Enshrined in charcoal
Encrusted with salt
Shrinking skin
Clings to the bones
Chanting silent sutras
Desert lips and dedication
The bitter tea and stinging salves
Made a lacquer in his veins
No vile worms or carrion
Shall feast upon his sanctity
Immaculate end
A morbid immortality
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Forever in repose
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Uncorruptible
Alone he bears the pains
Of transformation
A beacon of suffering
To leave behind a legacy
This monument
A skeletal offering
Agony beyond endurance
Every nerve aflame
No light, no sound
Just his hummingbird heart
Blinded, his gaze draws ever inwards
Through the darkness, he sees all
Infinite forms, unfolding panoramas
The mind's eye opening
Casting off the fleeting form
Remake the self to match a will of steel
In passionate purpose
A lifetime's sacrifice
To contemplate the divine
Cycles of death and rebirth
Made manifest in his flesh
In passionate purpose
A lifetime's sacrifice
To contemplate the divine
Embodiment of mortality
Preservation of the earthly husk
As the spirit journeys on
Beyond the petty games of mortal things
The self-inflicted wounds
The hurts and jealousies
Chanting silent sutras
Desert lips and dedication
The bitter tea and stinging salves
Made a lacquer in his veins
No vile worms or carrion
Shall feast upon his sanctity
Immaculate end
A morbid immortality
Ascetic perfection
A gift for the worthy
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Forever in repose
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Uncorruptible
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Forever in repose
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
A sign of life from the catacombs
Enshrined in charcoal
Encrusted with salt
Shrinking skin
Clings to the bones
Chanting silent sutras
Desert lips and dedication
The bitter tea and stinging salves
Made a lacquer in his veins
No vile worms or carrion
Shall feast upon his sanctity
Immaculate end
A morbid immortality
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Forever in repose
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Uncorruptible
Alone he bears the pains
Of transformation
A beacon of suffering
To leave behind a legacy
This monument
A skeletal offering
Agony beyond endurance
Every nerve aflame
No light, no sound
Just his hummingbird heart
Blinded, his gaze draws ever inwards
Through the darkness, he sees all
Infinite forms, unfolding panoramas
The mind's eye opening
Casting off the fleeting form
Remake the self to match a will of steel
In passionate purpose
A lifetime's sacrifice
To contemplate the divine
Cycles of death and rebirth
Made manifest in his flesh
In passionate purpose
A lifetime's sacrifice
To contemplate the divine
Embodiment of mortality
Preservation of the earthly husk
As the spirit journeys on
Beyond the petty games of mortal things
The self-inflicted wounds
The hurts and jealousies
Chanting silent sutras
Desert lips and dedication
The bitter tea and stinging salves
Made a lacquer in his veins
No vile worms or carrion
Shall feast upon his sanctity
Immaculate end
A morbid immortality
Ascetic perfection
A gift for the worthy
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Forever in repose
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Uncorruptible
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
Forever in repose
Eternal lotus
Blooms in blackness
