「Beyond the Silent Shore」

Verse 1 Who walks beneath This fragile skin of light? A fading echo drifting Through the corridors of night All the names I carried Fall like ash into the sea Every fear I worshipped Was never truly me Pre-Chorus The river keeps on flowing But who remains to stay? Beyond the distant mountains Does another silence wait? Chorus Gate… Gate… Pāragate… I disappear into the wind No shadow left to hold Beneath the nameless heavens The quiet turns to gold Pārasaṃgate… Bodhi Svāhā… No traveler remains Yet the path unfolds At the edge of every ending The infinite awakens whole Verse 2 Waves of endless longing Crash against the soul But reflected in the stillness They dissolve into the void The tighter that I grasped it The farther life became When I released the silence The universe knew my name Orchestral Bridge (Low strings rising + distant monk choir + whisper chant) “Who is crossing over now…” “What remains when self is gone…” Mountains breathe like ancient gods Rivers sing eternal songs From the emptiness within us A thousand stars are born Final Chorus Gate… Gate… Pāragate… Tears and laughter merging Into one eternal flame Between the dusk and dawning Nothing ever was the same Pārasaṃgate… Bodhi Svāhā… We were never separated Never lost along the way At the end of every journey Only this moment remains Outro (Full orchestra fades into wind, moktak, and whispering choir) “There was no shore to reach…” “No soul that crossed the sea…” “Only the endless silence… Becoming free…”
