The music fades the tower stands bare
Fragile glazed glass reflects the empty air
When I awake all is empty and bare
The mortal world fades nothing’s there
No bodhi tree no platform bright
No mirror stand to catch the light
Nothing exists no dust alights
A still heart free from all binds
All glory fades into the void
Fragile glazed glass reflects the empty void
When I awake all is empty and void
The mortal world fades nothing’s there
The music fades the tower stands bare
No bodhi tree no platform bright
No mirror stand to catch the light
Nothing exists no dust alights
Wind stirs leaves fall autumn’s known
Waters flow flowers bloom truth is shown
All forms in life are illusions shown
A pure heart untarnished on its own
No bodhi tree no platform bright
No mirror stand to catch the light
Nothing exists no dust alights
A still heart free from all binds
All glory fades into the void
Fragile glazed glass reflects the empty void
When I awake all is empty and void
The mortal world fades nothing’s there
The music fades the tower stands bare
No bodhi tree no platform bright
No mirror stand to catch the light
Nothing exists no dust alights
No bodhi tree no platform bright
No mirror stand to catch the light
Nothing exists no dust alights
A still heart free from all binds
Let go of all embrace the quiet still
Let go of self embrace the infinite
Empty is not nothing nor vain nor nil
The source of all things eternal infinite
All glory fades into the void
Fragile glazed glass reflects the empty void
When I awake all is empty and void
The mortal world fades nothing’s there
The music fades the tower stands bare
No bodhi tree no platform bright
No mirror stand to catch the light
Nothing exists no dust alights
Sutras of Heart Diamond empty and pure
Form is emptiness emptiness is form
All conditioned things like dreams bubbles mist
Let go of clinging return to your truest
From form to emptiness from dust to spirit
From matter to mind from bound to infinite
Step by step deeper and clearer
Empty and free without fear
Empty as void empty as void
No self no signs no birth no end
Empty as void empty as void
False and true blend and transcend
Sutras in hand the heart far and wide
Words are simple but the meaning abides
From nothing comes all all returns to none
Silent and still yet louder than none
From form to emptiness from dust to spirit
From matter to mind from bound to infinite
Step by step deeper and clearer
Empty and free without fear
Empty as void empty as void
No self no signs no birth no end
Empty as void empty as void
False and true blend and transcend
No bodhi tree no platform bright
No mirror stand to catch the light
Nothing exists no dust alights
A still heart free from all binds
All glory fades into the void
Fragile glazed glass reflects the empty void
When I awake all is empty and void
The mortal world fades nothing’s there
Empty as void…
