Lyrics
Endless quest for enlightenment Driven to extremes to become one with the exalted - reach immortality Stemming from Shingon doctrines Bizarre customs emerge Practice of living embalmment baffling Uninitiated minds Persevere to preserve... (Your earthly vessel) Your earthly vessel becomes a monument of spiritual sublimity... (Sublimity) achieved through acts of self-denial Endurance beyond humanity Stage 1 Meditation beneath icy waters Self imposed hardships to drain body fat Merciless reduction of food intake Deprived of all earthly pleasures Stage 2 Bark and roots, your sole nutrition Toxic substances cause rapid loss of budy fluids, vomiting Arsenic ingestion corrupts The little meat left on your bones Stage 3 Encased alive in your tomb Engrossed in spirituality The bell rings for 13 days (Until) silence signals transformation Strengthened through excruciation Body fat extermination Deliberate contamination Flesh now unfit for consumption Tormant chocked through meditation Locked tight in Lotus position Successful mummification Postmortal idolization Sacred site of admriation A dead body's exhibition Visitors confronted with greatness
