Kingdoms Beyond Kailash

Heresy spreads across lands
As Nestorians fled towards the Taklamakan
Through Herat and the domes of Samarkand
They rode towards the Indus
Arduous journeys towards the eastern gate

To reach new paradigms

Deep in the caves of Gobian sands
Silk Road scrolls unmasked the mystery
The lost doctrines and subjugation of Tartary
Of carvings in the Garuda Valley

Rites passed through the land and the sea
Beheld from cross to monastic veracity
The empire of Gu-ge stands in its final glory

Bearers of the cross perish in wake
Not to surpass the land of the shrines
Bearers of the cross perish in wake
Not to surpass the land of the shrines

The peak of Meru stands upright
The peak of Meru

The vajna strikes where the nimbus resides

The yung-drung is stacked nine times
Upon the mountainside of Kailash
Mount of the subdued demons

Kingdoms beyond Kailash
Unsurpassed

The lake of light
And the lake of demons
The peak of Shiva, the great darshan

May they remain unconquered forever
