lyrics

I have seen through the simplicity
Of the oneness and difference
Of all things

Interrelated, concatenated
The context that contains
Establishes an exchange reciprocally
As I see revealed and respect the veil of ontology
Which is to say that Being is Mystery

A thing is not a thing
Words open or close the doors
Of Being’s house
They decide if we shall step beyond
Or endlessly regress.
Do not trust the airtight promise;
The suffocating universe of fact

When lichtung becomes manifest
Silence opens space for sound
The web, the way, the tides clear
Our endless fallen strife

For the sake of the earth
The sea exists
For the sake of the sea
The sky exists
For the sake of the sky
The earth exists
Now I invoke:
Come home, Dasein, to Aletheia’s welcome hall.

I have seen through the simplicity
Of the oneness and difference
Of all things.
The door stands before you
At every moment
In every place
Patiently biding.
