Find The Flame
Masayoshi Soken
Dig, dig, dig, dig, deeper
Dig, dig, dig, dig, deeper
Delve, delve, delve, delve, deeper
Weep, weep, weep, weep, weeper
Raise thy lantern, pioneer
Shine upon the far frontier
Fingers cracked and body broken
Mind a daze yet soul awoken
Diving into the mire!
Laid out upon the pyre!
Never this soul shall tire!
Running into the fire!
Your bleary bloodshot eyes open wide in the dawn
Let the light in and brighten the shades that sleep inside you
Find the flame, the flame, the flame
Find the flame, the flame, the flame
Let its light blind you
Delve in this dark abyss
Fathomless emptiness
Till the kiss of fire enfolds you!
Dig, dig, dig, dig, deeper
Dig, dig, dig, dig, deeper
Wake, wake, wake, wake, sleeper
Reap, reap, reap, reap, reaper
Raise thy lantern, pioneer
Shine upon the far frontier
Fingers cracked and body broken
Mind a daze yet soul awoken
Diving into the mire!
Laid out upon the pyre!
Never this soul shall tire!
Running into the fire!
Your bleary bloodshot eyes open wide in the dawn
Let the light in and brighten the shades that sleep inside you
Find the flame, the flame, the flame
Find the flame, the flame, the flame
Let its light blind you
Delve in this dark abyss
Fathomless emptiness
Till the kiss of fire enfolds you!
