lyrics

Behind the world of illusion
Lies the primordial substance
An immeasurable, starless menace
Gleaming from the light
Of its own doomed creation
The self-activity of a blind drive

Silence bores a hole
Into the wall of Maya
Yielding as it crumbles
The shiver of mental disquiet;
To know is to feel
To feel is to fear

Witness, fellow wanderer,
In the shadow of a fading light,
Oblivion's antechamber,
The kernel of existence
A rapture of unending conception
Cursed and alone

Nature is bashful, its teeth unseen
Resign, lest its fangs reach you
And devour you
For oblivion's shadow
Cannot reach into the calm
Abode of resignation
