"this is a separate recording from the previous one. it's eleven fifteen p.m. on the twenty-first march two-thousand four. i have four strings on my guitar, so bear with me while i play"


the sun rises up like my aspirations
and beams on me
the sacred envelope holds my name 
and existence and communicates my teachings
if need anything pure
then incorporate yourself into me

AOM
AOM
yamashita riki

yamashita riki
essentially being

as the sun rises to drop its blood
the blood of honour
on the white cloth
that wrapped my soul within
that drop of honour
bore my name
as the one true source

land of your souls
is within me and all around me
i came to the truth
the truth remains constant

and i see greener grass
i see bluer and clearer skies
it is within our reach
if you come to me
if you died for me

all your will is gone
my will is yours to honour

look at me within
all the things i know
all the things i am willing to do

and the burning orange sun
shades my eyes grey
my eyelids beamed with light 
from God

AOM
AOM
AOM

give your-up yourself to my word
take upon my name 
bestow on you

the sea of possible
the sea of possible

violence sustained, i am
killings are to blame {/today}
a lot i shall
so much like me
when i get a call from you
so stronger like winds

i'd rather be a dead samurai 
than be a peasant!

and in my right is my father
as is - i am the son
i reach to extend myself from the one true source
to become the one following you
aligned beings for you
aligned beings

and the orange sun
bleeds red upon the pure white sky
behind, the castle fades
forever in motion
always in motion
it seems
dynamically interacting with all things around 
inside and outside

think of the possibilities
it was cold
the ships were dropping its bombs upon us
we were left alone to die

castle falling 
laying plain ruins
where do all the lost souls go

they are distributed amongst you
and i cannot tell anymore
too many lies
too many things that we've put upon
to conceal our true selves
i wish you to be free
and the only way that is possible
is to allow that trust in me

yamashita riki
yamashita riki

AOM

return together 
you lost souls
the forgotten
the fallen angels
from my father's reign in heaven
where we shall band
to reclaim

to reclaim
my kingdom
and the son shall all fall
into us
the son shall beam its power
beaming from within
all the good in samsara
