Mara
Liner Notes
In Buddhism, Mara is the personification of death, desire, and destructive attachments. Best dealt with through radical acceptance.

Lyrics
Earth is my witness
Hell is my sickness
Tell me, what is stillness
My mind doesn't know
Is there a darkness
A power to harness
A fruit for the harvest
A god overthrown
Mara, I see you
In the eyes of those who hunger for the taste of tragedy
Mara, I see you
In the ones who speak untruths
Mara, I see you in me
How do I suffer
Embrace like a lover
Nurture like a mother
Rebuke like a foe
And how do I shatter
In ways that will matter
And will my heart scatter
Like ashes or snow
Mara, I see you
In the eyes of those who hunger for the taste of tragedy
Mara, I see you
In the ones who speak untruths
Mara, I see you in me
Mara, I see you in me
Comments
Also loved the guitar in the background of the "and how do I shatter" verse too - interesting harmony and texture!
Sweet vocal, reverb delayed guitar and that Kick help Power this along.
Kind of a Melonchaly Meditative Chant.
Nice!
Amazing musically and lyrically. The percussion makes it all the more mesmerizing.
