lyrics

Beneath the forest canopy,
Dissolving into darkness,
The eternal circle,
Of transformation profound.

The epochs lost,
Time beyond mind;
A flash of a spark,
Equilibrium of Gods.

As the Sun dies,
A primordial leaf falls;
It was a tree before,
And so again will be.

Voice of the giant,
A mesmerizing wind,
Water, deep and cold.

Birds sleep in quiet,
Crawlers watch their steps,
A leaf falls into a stream;
A gentle, muffled splash.

At the top of the mountain,
A small crystal is formed;
The white traveller;
He knows the world old.

A silent hum,
No one is there,
The clouds, cry.

A vast world,
A single soul;
Like there is no day,
And night doesn’t fall.

Spring walks by,
Summer with a wave,
Old leaves fall,
In coldness they decay.

A stream flows on,
Mountain stands tall,
Green is the canopy,
Of Forest forever old.

A hole beneath,
And a whole different world;
Here, sleeps, a leaf.

The mushroom king rose,
White, and tall;
Songs of the underworld,
He sings above.

To touch the sky,
There he wants to go!
How to be a tree,
A leaf will let him know!

“A tree swims in a stream,
It sleeps beneath the tree,
To become a leaf,
A root it first must be.”

And so the wall of stems,
Smooth, rough; still stands;
It’s depth – imperceptible;
Of time – immemorial.
