9 Contemplations of Death Lyrics by Time

Paulo’s Path mixtape vol. 8

0

He rode through the fog with a falcon on his shoulder
The moon looked like a yellow talon the air got colder
He drew a circle in the sand, the wind moved it with its breath
He said do you know the 9 contemplations of death?
The first one is, we all die no one is exempt
Try to be present with the thought and watch your mind intercept
The second one is our lifespan is always decreasing
Be grateful for the moments cuz existence is fleeting
The third is death will arrive even if you're not prepared
Meditate on how to welcome it and order your affairs
The fourth is death could knock at any moment
Spend time with your loved ones don't waste it on opponents
He said there's 5 more but you need to explore
The inner depths of your soul the internal civil wars
He stamped out the fire and he had the deepest cry
The talon stabbed the horizon, another sleepless night

Life attracts life but we'll all meet death
You could dig a grave but there's much more depth
He saw the lesser lights into the void he leapt
He saw a falling star as the galaxy wept
Life attracts life but we'll all meet death
You could dig a grave but there's much more depth
He saw the lesser lights into the void he leapt
He saw a falling star as the galaxy wept

He woke to a flash of light, the bruising of dawn
He listened to a chorus from a wren and noted the birdsong
He walked into the forest and he saw a number five
It said death has many causes just don't die inside
He saw some leaves fall and they formed into a six
It said the human body's fragile forgive it if it's sick
He saw some tangled roots and they seemed to make a seven
It said loved ones can't stop death, let go is the lesson
The moss on a rock looked like a sideways eight
It meant you die alone no possessions escape
He walked to a willow, nine was carved on the bark
It said your body cannot help you when it's time to depart
The man kicked him awake and said you ready for the other five?
The boy looked confused and said did I really die?
The man turned to smoke he saw the circle in the sand
An invisible finger wrote grief now do you understand?

Life attracts life but we'll all meet death
You could dig a grave but there's much more depth
He saw the lesser lights into the void he leapt
He saw a falling star as the galaxy wept
Life attracts life but we'll all meet death
You could dig a grave but there's much more depth
He saw the lesser lights into the void he leapt
He saw a falling star as the galaxy wept
