Varanasi Lyrics


Trapped in the cycle of birth

Reincarnated flesh

Wheel of samsara turning

Between good and bad

Came here to pray

Came here to die

Ganga, the river goddess

Take us to the other side

Ashes on the ground

And smoke in the air

No tears to cry

She set them free, my friends

The heat in your face

Untouchable flames

A billion soul stirring

In the waves of Ganges

Came here to pray

Came here to die

Ganga, the river goddess

Take us to the other side

Ashes on the ground

And smoke in the air

No tears to cry

She set them free, my friends

Bodies cremated there

A pile of burning leaves

As we stop the circle of suffering

We are free from the endless dreams

Came here to pray

Came here to die

Ganga, the river goddess

Take us to the other side

Ashes on the ground

And smoke in the air

No tears to cry

She set them free, my friends

We’re all again
