This is the death knell of the ego

This is the death knell of the ego
Bells are ringing
In the consciousness
The inner light is gnawing at the mind

Between the uselessness of goods and bads
Memories of what I lost or had
There´s something that is never lost

Face to face with the shadow
Skulking there within the shade
A darker dark within a more obscure

When it gets so dark it blanks out everything
The flimsy moral code just falls away
And when death comes
To lead you down the hall
Only god will be your witness
No friends you thought you had to guide you there

Shoot a light thru the dark
And find your way back home
Dark shadows all around
But we will break them down

The clean pure light of knowing
That is the base of all
Is our real recollection
Our one true treasure store

Burn a hole thru the thick dull clouds
Of ignorance
That hold us in their grip

Tell your brothers and your sisters of your love for them
Dark shadows all around
But shadows only shadows in the end
And what you thought a snake is just a stick
