lyrics

In the Bardo of Becoming,
The instant after death.
I heard, I heard Him Sing.
And I sang, sang along.

In a flash of former lifetimes,
I stood in judgement of my self.
And I believed I was supposed to be
Exactly who I believed I was

So I counted out my pebbles,
The white outweighed the black.
Consult the mirror - Everything's clear:
The Lord of Death was never my judge.

I lifted my gaze upward,
I was lifted off the ground.
Whatever I think of, I'm already doing
All that I could think of was Love.



I return Love to The Echo,
Return love to the refrain.
The Void whispers my name, but it's no longer me
No longer will I fear the Beast.

In the Bardo of Becoming,
I am not afraid.
So at the moment of luminous dawn,
I will rise again in the East.

All substance is my own mind;
This mind is emptiness, unarisen, unobstructed
So I keep my mind at ease.

I see weapons of spinning Fire,
I stand among the crowd in the city of souls.
I am reborn.

Now when the bardo of becoming dawns upon me,
I will open my eyes, relax and give in.
And Begin
