Defend me from opposing forces
At night, in my sleep, when I am not conscious
When my path becomes uncertain
And never abandon me
Never abandon me
Take me back to the higher places
Into one of your realms of stillness
It's time to leave this cycle of lives
And never abandon me
Never abandon me
Because the joys of the deepest affection
Or of the lightest longings of the heart
I am only the shadow of the light
Remember me, how unhappy I am
Far from your laws
How not to waste the time I have left
And never abandon me
Never abandon me
Because the peace I felt in certain monasteries
Or the vibrant understanding of all the senses in celebration
I am only the shadow of the light
