Samskara Lyrics

Immolation faced, my choice made,
The furnace doused, the embers raked,
I won't follow you to the pyre,
Your love's death has been my waking-
Pulled from the fire, saved from the flame,
Now I can live my life again.

The heat has licked
At my body for long enough
It's time for other tongues...
I am pure... samskara!
The fire has eaten
At my soul for long enough
It's time for other mouths...
I am pure... samskara!

Salvation taken, my hopes saved,
Stifled inhalation, heat close,
I'm tired holding the torch for you
The fuel of love is exhausted-
Pulled from the fire, saved from the flame,
Now I can live my life again.

The heat has licked
At my body for long enough
It's time for other tongues...
I am pure... samskara!
The fire has eaten
At my soul for long enough
It's time for other mouths...
I am pure... samskara!

The fire has gnawed
At my bones for long enough
It's time for softer lips...
I am pure... samskara!
And the mountain shakes-
This time I see another way...
I am pure... samskara!
I am pure... it's time to fall...
