Lyrics (unofficial)

I spent a bit of time in the formless realm
So sweet and heavy, so warm and quick
My mind emanated for thousands of miles
Fathoms below me, what can you show me?

Triple world receded before my eyes
Future, present and past
Each second lasted a million years
But the centuries were flying by fast

There was a diva who entered the space
A tiny starling, she was everybody's darling
She said, "Oh kind sir, why are you floating alone?
Please follow me back to my home"

Her gossamer wings were spun from the sun
Her tears were love in a drop
I hung inside a web woven in some god head
I didn't want it to stop

Her eyes were as wise as the holy owl
But she pounced just like a cheetah
Destroying nescience and Maya
The demons sent out to meet her
But they couldn't beat her

Now we live in Tír na nÓg
In satori, I'm in no hurry
One day we'll go back to the formless realms
For a holiday, you got no worries
