You can't hide
What’s in your heart.
You can't hide
What’s under your skin.
For the day will come when
Everyone will see what lies within.
And when that day arrives,
We will then see the Light and Darkness
In the midst of our very lives,
And in the souls of those around us.
Whether it’s a corpse,
Or the flesh of burnt ash,
In the end,
Our bodies all end up trashed.
So start your prayers
Or moments of solitude and inner reflection
Before the Time of Judgment comes
Followed by the Waves of Transmigration.
We are all such fragile creatures,
But we don't see the errors of our ways,
Until the time when the Hands of Fate and Nature
Seek us out on our very last days.
