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 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 Chanting silent sutras Desert lips and dedication The bitter tea and stinging salves Made a lacquer in his veins
