We do not die, we only change All must die before their rebirth As fruit must rot to release its seed Soul transmigration from divinity To the mutable world of birth and disease Old age, and death, the breeze Created by a souls departure Arising from this dead and lifeless shell We emanate from the deceased We do not die only change, only change You know we do not die, only change You know we only change Death is the dying of the light Now the imperishable soul begins its journey to the divine Implicit and vague become explicit and clear Infinitely long passage from another world to our own The winds of a departing soul The time of now is slipping away We do not die only change, only change
