Beneath the Bodhi Tree
There is a war
Within my mind
That's waged between
The dark and the light
And so I sit
I know my time is nigh
Tempt me with flesh
Of beautiful maidens
Pelt me with arrows that signal my doom
Dare me to yield, but I cannot be moved
I shall remain beneath this tree
Unstirred and unmoved
Temptation calls
A voice I do not heed
Lord of desire
Makes camp at my feet
Whispers at me, unceasingly
He wishes to lead me from tranquility
Back to the grip of passion and fear
He begs me to cling
To pleasures and things
That do not last, that always disappear
I shall remain beneath this tree
Unstirred and unmoved
Temptation calls
A voice I do not heed
I am the mountaintop
Resolved and firm
I am the great river
That flows undisturbed
The earth bears witness
To my certitude
I shall remain beneath this tree
Unstirred and unmoved
Temptation calls
A voice I do not heed
Temptation calls
Within my mind
That's waged between
The dark and the light
And so I sit
I know my time is nigh
Tempt me with flesh
Of beautiful maidens
Pelt me with arrows that signal my doom
Dare me to yield, but I cannot be moved
I shall remain beneath this tree
Unstirred and unmoved
Temptation calls
A voice I do not heed
Lord of desire
Makes camp at my feet
Whispers at me, unceasingly
He wishes to lead me from tranquility
Back to the grip of passion and fear
He begs me to cling
To pleasures and things
That do not last, that always disappear
I shall remain beneath this tree
Unstirred and unmoved
Temptation calls
A voice I do not heed
I am the mountaintop
Resolved and firm
I am the great river
That flows undisturbed
The earth bears witness
To my certitude
I shall remain beneath this tree
Unstirred and unmoved
Temptation calls
A voice I do not heed
Temptation calls
