Lyrics[]
On the grand journey, we meet and open our eyes,
Even when closed, with unwavering resolve in our hearts
This belief itself extinguishes like a flame, and brings even
moonlight, sunlight, heaven, and hell into focus
Leading illusions to develop into reality, ascending the spiral,
Climbing towards the sky In the heat of battles chained together,
What do you see?
Countless resolves
Once caught in the spiral of endless battles
Yesterday's shaky retreat was lame
But now I can forgive that version of you
Endless variety, that was your frontline back then
The best strategy, prepared to perfection
Form is emptiness
Under the Sal Tree, pondering the uncertainty of this life
Never to waver again
All of humanity's karma, bring it forth
Offer it all up, from beginning to end
With my mind’s eye open, the lotus blooms;
My craft refined, zen embodied
My body ablaze with fierce intensity
Lighting strikes under the divine wind
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
All experiences in life, whether walking, sitting, or lying down,
Is nourishment for the living
There's nothing to fear amid the blue flames, so be it
They light up the path
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
Snatching up virtues from this mundane world to the Six Realms,
Receiving blessings from the dragon soaring above
Don't worry, leave it to me
Whether I face demons or the Buddha, I'll have no problem
There’s no proof, but my intuition speaks
A red spider lily falls directly down from the heavens
The end is near; will it be a curse or a blessing?
Not just words, I’ll prove it with my actions
Even the calamities above take my side as I claim the peak
From the foot to the summit, I blaze the battle line
I wait my turn in the sprawling line that extends before me
The final terminus, I stand above the fallen
I’ll carry this era on my back, from now on and forever
True to myself, guided by my compass, it’s all up to me
What do you want to do? If that’s your truth, then act on it
Follow your own heart
Draw what your heart envisions
Your heart itself is the world
Suffering is only the count of your loneliness
This song makes the wilted lotus bloom
To preside over rebirth means embracing both sides
Destruction too follows logic and absurdity
But I’ll accept all of it
Together, we’ll flow and head to new realms
As a transmigrating monk, I have no regrets about the past
Free from sorrow, free from thought, I’ve reached the peak
The cycle of good and evil, light and darkness, hail and flame
Ego, conquest, the end, divine current
Never to waver again
All of humanity's karma, bring it forth
Offer it all up, from beginning to end
With my mind’s eye open, the lotus blooms;
My craft refined, zen embodied
My body ablaze with fierce intensity
Lighting strikes under the divine wind
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
All experiences in life, whether walking, sitting, or lying down,
Is nourishment for the living
There's nothing to fear amid the blue flames, so be it
Together, until our spirits burn out completely
With all of creation on my back,
I'll go to the ends of the ends of the ends
Seeking truth, salvation, let it resonate (sutras)
Everyone, lend me your ears
Snatching up virtues from this mundane world to the Six Realms,
Receiving blessings from the dragon soaring above
Don't worry, leave it to me
Whether I face demons or the Buddha, I'll have no problem
The cycle of good and evil, light and darkness, hail and flame
Ego, conquest, the end, divine current

壮大を往く旅の最中交わり
眼開き、閉ぜど事は隨に
不退転の心その信念こそ
滅法
月光も 陽光も
天国も 地獄も
幻想を現像へ
先導螺旋を上りやがて空へと
連鎖してきた争いの熱に
何が見える？数多の決意
一度は降りかけた闘争の螺旋
揺らぎ逃げた昨日のダッセェ
テメェの事も今許せる千差万別
それが過去のテメェの最前線
万全を期した最善策
色即絶空沙羅双樹上無常空蝉
二度と揺らがねえ人の業もありったけ
全て差し出せ発端を終端まで
心眼開き咲いた連技は磨き描いた禅
身体は血走った烈
稲光神風
森羅万象全部背負って
果ての果ての果てまで
求道し救世し響かせる (Sutras)
皆、耳貨せ
行住坐臥全ての経験が
今生きる者の糧
何も怖かねえ蒼炎の中で娑婆訶
道を照らす
森羅万象全部背負って
果ての果ての果てまで
求道し救世し響かせる (Sutras)
皆、耳貨せ
掻っ攫う徳を娑婆から六道
滑空する龍のBless
心配ねえ任せときな
鬼仏もNo problem
根拠はないが感覚が語る
直に天から降り注ぐ曼珠沙華
終わりは近いが呪いか祝いか？
口先だけじゃなく己で示す
天変も味方に天辺を席巻し
原点から頂点へ戦線をBlaze
順番を待つ長蛇の列終端のラスト
亡者の上に立ち金輪際この時代背負う
等身大羅針盤行動次第だ
どうしたい？本心ならそうしな
テメェの心に従いな
テメェの心の描いた
テメェの心が世界だ
苦悩なんて孤独の数だ
枯れたLotus咲かすこの唄
再生を司るのなら表裏
破壊も付いてくる道理不条理
だがそれも受け入れる
共に流れ共に往く新天地
流転の僧過去に悔いは無し
無念無想辿り着いた極致
円環善悪明暗雹焔我我制霸最果天流
二度と揺らがねえ人の業もありったけ
全て差し出せ発端を終端まで
心眼開き咲いた連技は磨き描いた禅
身体は血走った烈
稲光神風
森羅万象全部背負って
果ての果ての果てまで
求道し救世し響かせる (Sutras)
皆、耳貨せ
行住坐臥全ての経験が
今生きる者の糧
何も怖かねえ蒼炎の中で娑婆訶
共に魂燃え尽きるまで
森羅万象全部背負って
果ての果ての果てまで
求道し救世し響かせる (Sutras)
皆、耳貨せ
掻っ攫う徳を娑婆から六道
滑空する龍のBless
心配ねえ任せときな
鬼仏もNo problem
