Lyrics
Into a blind darkness, go Those dedicated to not knowing Into deeper darkness go Those content with knowing Without joy is the name of these worlds Enveloped in blind darkness Those without knowledge or reason, go At the outset to them If he knew himself, if man could say "This is I" By which desire, for which goal Would his body be inflamed? He who has found himself, go And whom the being, buried in the depths Of this depth, has awakened, go He is all-active He is the author of all, go For him, the world, he is himself The world, go Into a blind darkness, go Here as well, we must know this If not, ignorance, the great predition Those knowing this become immortal, go The others in misfortune bury themselves And one has once recognized the self This god suddenly, this master of past and future One turns way no more, go, go That from which the yer unwinds, go In rounds of days, go The gods confess it, light of lights And to mortal life, go That foundation of five and five rings That on which space reposes, go It is that I think of as the self I who know the sacred word I without death, immortal, go, go Breath of breath, go Breath of breath, and sight of sight Hearing of hearing, thought of thought Those who know it have discerned the world Ancient, original, go It must be perceived by thought Nothing here exists separately He who sees things as separated Goes from death to death Into a blind darkness, go Those dedicated not knowing Into deeper darkness, go Those content with knowing Must be perceived in its unity, go That, the immense that The stable beyond friction Traversing space, go Go, the self without birth The great, the stable, into the darkness, go When the sage has recognized it Let him obtain its knowledge, Brahman Let him not be dispersed by numerous words For that, is the weakening of the word Go Go Go
