Om Muni

Hymns

Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā

I heard a beat in an old mantra
Saw past all appearances
In the guidance upon my heart
And in the silence I'm reawoken

I was hiding in my shadow
In a cave deep in the ground below
See I was guarding a holy ghost
But I was guarded against your devotion

Your choir made our voices strong
You know I cried when I heard that song
Choked up man I still sang along
I didn't want that spell to be broken

All the people around want to talk
about the rainy weather and the foreign wars
But I couldn't move one inch from the spot
I just sat with my heart blown open

Holy vibrations, words of the ancients, slide into me
I won't be forsaken, these roads that I'm taking, will take me to peace

And I'm singing....

Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā

You know I'm willing to be cured of the fear
The darkness will come for a thousand years
But all we need is one bright light to appear
To illuminate the shadows

When our mantra is a Riddim of woe
Gotta change, take on a different approach
Got to breathe deep in the things that we love, until we manifest it
You cry a tear but you don't know why
It's like you're crying more for the light that you hide
Caught up in the terror that you're burning too bright
But deep inside you're dying to be breaking open
Now the silence has been broken, these islands were too lonesome
But the day still belongs to us, now the day still belongs to us

Holy vibrations, words of the ancients, slide into me
I won't be forsaken, these roads that I'm taking, will take me to peace

And I'm singing....

Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
Oṃ muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā
