3. DUM SPIRO DESPERO | |
Dum spiro despero, via dolorosa | |
Bring me a sharp blade so I can cut | |
The strings that direct my moves | |
And like a puppet make me dance | |
To rhythms foreign to my limbs | |
The voice of desperation | |
Can stop this senseless wheel of life | |
I trust in suffering to free my tortured mind | |
Dum spiro despero, via dolorosa | |
The God of hope far behind I’ve left | |
The Enlightened One has shown me his path | |
His way I’ll follow, forsaking earthly pain | |
His wise words echo through my brain: | |
“Give up hope and everything you love” | |
Strength I don’t lack this decision to make | |
But trapped in torment, illusion and pain | |
Aeons of cruel suffering I foresee | |
Before my ignorance shall leave me | |
And my weary mind finally finds rest | |
Amida, give me the strength I need | |
To trust in your Other Power | |
And follow your noble path | |
Amida here I stand: am I worthy of your Pure Land? |
