[Verse 1]

A violent raging silence inside

Apathy and procrastination at the surface

Irrational panic, pounding heartbeats, deafening tinnitus

These seemingly inherent enemies cannot be vanquished by force

Thus the preliminary practice of this introspection is first aimed at stilling the mind


[Pre-Chorus]

Restlessness as I turn inwards

Gathering strength for self-conquest


[Chorus]

Now, this is what will start the cure

Expect discomfort and lay hold of its allure

Hardship is what I shall endure

To search the depths for what has always been obscurеd

A search for the unifying principle

Which pеrvades all of physical reality

To be so present that the mind no longer vacillates

To become a vessel of divine serene neutrality


[Verse 2]

Thoughts will die a natural death

Liberation in the density of space

Not a single word whispered

Demanding tranquil blissful silence


[Chorus]

Now, this is what will start the cure

Expect discomfort and lay hold of its allure

Hardship is what I shall endure

To search the depths for what has always been obscured

A search for the unifying principle

Which pervades all of physical reality

To be so present that the mind no longer vacillates

To become a vessel of divine serene neutrality
