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
