The Man Within
"Our bodies are given life
From the midst of nothingness
Existing where there is nothing
Is the meaning of the phrase, 'form is emptiness'"
"That all things are provided for by nothingness
Is the meaning of the phrase, 'emptiness is form'
One should not think that these are two separate things"
One man running over fields
The buried lives below
Scars are itching but he can't scratch
The remote won't turn it off
Old man crawling on his knees
The void is closing in
He feels the snake will overtake him
As the ice gets thin
No horizon wherever he looks
The misty clouds arrived
Like a cold breath on his neck
Still counting days and nights
Lost the power to strike back
So further he would crawl
Feeling dazed an loosing track
The haze, did it speak at all?
Don't know where to begin
The path still long and hard, and never ends
Don't know where to begin
The path still long and hard
Breathing in too deep
Too close to see
Results of a life in greed breeds anxiety
The forces weakening his strength
As they were taking over the lead
Run man, run, you've got to leave
This cursed land you were born
You see the mountains way ahead
Striking up this virgin song
As soon as the fears will disappear
He swears he'll bring it on
No more knowing about the rules
Of this game that he once won
One man running over fields
Arising lives below
The gates behind him closed for good
There's no one left to know
The ancient spirits called his name
Forcing him to fall
Flames of delusion surrounding him
This quest has taken it all
Don't know where to begin
The path still long and hard, and never ends
Don't know where to begin
The path still long and hard
Breathing in too deep
Too close to see
Results of a life in greed breeds anxiety
The forces weakening his strength
As they were taking over the lead
He was shown the river
The pillars soon collapsing
The walls of flames were closing in
Entering the lifeboat
The pills still stuck in his throat
And no more chances to begin
From the midst of nothingness
Existing where there is nothing
Is the meaning of the phrase, 'form is emptiness'"
"That all things are provided for by nothingness
Is the meaning of the phrase, 'emptiness is form'
One should not think that these are two separate things"
One man running over fields

The remote won't turn it off
