lyrics

Kapal Kriya
Rite of the Skull
Freed from flesh as the fire consumes
Vessel
The empty vessel returns to ash
Gatherers turn their backs

Flames lay waste my illusion
Born into truth from the womb of the pyre
I shed the self, sick with fear
To drink from the stream of lucid vision

Rivers of death engulf my veins
Descend the staff of liberation
Burst free the spirit from existence
The wheel of suffering, birth and death

Sacred mutilation
Split the seat of consciousness
Bone burned down to dust
Charring flesh, corrupt
Ritual rite unbind my soul

Outside the mouth of time
Crossing the shores into nothing
From burning seas of affliction
To the kingdom of emptiness

Four-eyed keepers of the path
Thirsting for the breath of life
Feast on the ash of the dead
Bathe me in infinite light

Smoke and humans’ dust
Black out the sky
Purified by ancient words
As realms collide

Echoes of mourning and weeping
Fill the grounds of cremation
Ancestral remains scattered in vain
For Kapalik’s claim

Open my eyes
Devour my blindness
Ritual of death, clear my path
And lead me to life

My body shrouded and maimed
Disease extinguished by flame
Beckoning forth the hands of Yama
Transmute my pain

Kapal Kriya
Rite of the Skull
Freed from flesh as the fire consumes
Vessel
The empty vessel returns to ash
Gatherers turn their backs

Rivers of death engulf my veins
Descend the staff of liberation
Burst free the spirit from existence
The wheel of suffering, birth and death

Flames lay waste my illusion
Born into truth from the womb of the pyre
I shed the self, sick with fear
To drink from the stream of lucid vision

Sacred mutilation
Split the seat of consciousness
Bone burned down to dust
Charring flesh, corrupt
Ritual rite unbind my soul
