Shiina Ringo - Ano Yo no Mon

Sandokushi / Ringo Sheena
"Ano Yo no Mon"
2019.05.27
Sandokushi [Album]

Gate of Hades

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Ringo Shiina

It is neither dark here nor light
I see a faint soft white, white, white
Lacking all gradation
Could such a source of light even exist?
I'm alone, this I know
No time flows, smell iron everywhere

May be close or far from
A crawling mass jagged and black, black, black
Qualities are unclear
So will it be tangible when it's here?
I'm alone, there's no doubt
No body, smell iron everywhere

(There's no water or wind no
fire or earth no water or fire no)

With no light, no shadow falls
Still the two don't touch at all
Both conjoin in harmony, a perfect balance

(And no hatred or greed no
deluded mind no remedy there's no)

Seeing broadly without eyes
Independently comprised
Yet conjoined in harmony, a perfect balance

I take in all of time, endless space, eternal embrace
Ideation unbounded is all, there's nothing beyond
I myself am the spring and have roughly everything
Eternity endlessly is one, its boundaries are none

Knowing neither hunger nor thirst
Omnipotent in perfect ease
