Listen Buddhist Chant - Heart Sutra (Sanskrit) by Imee Ooi
Lyrics
Oh Maria (Sam Roberts)
You could never compromise
I could never satisfy you at all
Always thought you had gentle eyes
Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
Before I was a young man
Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
The years don't seem to touch you
It makes me wonder what you sold
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
You lived on the seventh floor
It was far from heaven but it meant more
You said things that were hard to ignore
My conversation makes you bored
You always hated wedding bells
You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
So how's it going to be, Maria?
Will it be you and me?
Or will it be
Five more years of counting my tears
Five more years of living in fear
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray
Saw a photograph of you today
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
And now I see that you made the front page
Married for the money and you blew him away
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
You only had five words on your mind
"Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking"
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray
Listen what I say
This girl is leading me astray
Place Of Higher Power (Edenbridge)
The rain abates
A new dawn waits
Will I be back on dryland?
Unconfined
Our restless mind
It's a jungle out there
Those barren years
And vast frontiers
We are drifting worlds apart
The apron stage
A golden cage
But beauty's only skin deep
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
It's just a world of make believe
But what a tangled web we weave
We dream on consecrated ground
(We're spellbound)
[Chorus 1:]
Framed into this world
All along the line
Take me outside space and time
Working like a charm
Burning down the harm
In a place of higher power
I hear the bell
Tolls the knell
Can we cross a boundary
Shining streams
Recurring dreams
Take me out of this world
I'm tired and drawn
Goes on and on
Inquire into mine own heart
The inner twist
Can I resist
In a lucid moment
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I'm chasing horses in midstream
I follow my recurring dream
And leave the nadir, meet my fate
(Can you await)
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2:]
Ardour and despair
On a wing and prayer
A panacea in my veins
Lode star on my sky
Shine and purify
In a place of higher power
[Pre-Chorus 1]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
Insanity (Gary Mills)
Empty boulevards
The last will never find me
They only remind me
Of you...
Empty in my heart
Beside or inside me
Ways for you to find me
It's true...
Empty boulevards
You soon to push me over
Insanity...
Empty boulevards
The last will never find me
They only remind me
Of you...
Is just like I said
There's nothing do discover
Nothing to recover
Ahh...
Insanity...
Insanity...
Unjustified (Russell Allen)
81 billion beats the soldier's drum
Price of living to high to over come
Politician preaching that war's the only way
While another bum dies in the streets of L.A.
It's all a lie unjustified
It's all for black gold
Killing Christian, killing Hebrew
Killing Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu
You can't take life
So sayth in the holy books you read
Manipulated minds
Serving prophets of greed
It's all a lie unjustified
It's all for black gold
And another one dies unjustified
We're selling our souls
Woe to the beggars catching pity in their hands
While the rich feast on the blood media
Broadcast across the land
And somewhere there's a child in a distant house
Feeling only what children know
Fed from a caldron of hate
Grows to deliver a deadly blow
It's all a lie unjustified
And another one dies unjustified
We're all terrorized and horrified
All for black gold
Sacrament (Pride And Fall)
View all the colours in your hand
A distinctive red shines trough them all
These rusty nails bear signs of blood
A sinful life will clear it all
You will bear my sin as if youre proud
Youll swear my name and beg me please
A moment to live in, a sequence to heal
Youll find no redemption here
Your heart
Your soul
Your everything
You will give it to me
This sacrament is for real
It will end some day you shall be free
This torturing nightmare will end with me
Ill place my coat around your shoulder
Ill bring comfort you shall be released
You will bear my sin as if youre proud
Youll swear my name and beg me please
A moment to live in, a sequence to heal
Youll find no redemption here
Your heart
Your soul
Your everything
You will give it to me
This sacrament is for real
Say It Again (The Beatles With Tony Sheridan)
The thing about love
Is i never saw it coming
It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there's a voice inside my heart that's got me wondering
Is this true, i want to hear it one more time
Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i'm
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It's like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you're in love
Say it again
Thing about you is you know just how to get me
You talk about us like there's no end in sight
The thing about me is that i really want to let you
Open that door and walk into my life
Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i'm
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It's like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you're in love
And it feels like it's the first time
That anybody's ever brought the sun without the rain
And never in my whole life
Have I heard words as beautiful as when you say my name
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i'm
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It's like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you're in love
Say it again
When you tell me you're in love
Say it again
Brand New Day (Scorpions)
I'm waking up
The world is turning
The sun is shining again
I'm holding on
To things I shouldn't
It's time to let them go
I've been on a losing streak
Hit so hard I couldn't speak
But when I hear Your voice it fades away
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home
I'm going home
Your love, it burns
Away my darkness
You guide me when I'm blind
You are The Light
That shines inside me
Showing me I'm
So much more
When I've been on a losing streak
Hit so hard I couldn't speak
But when I hear Your voice it fades away
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home
I'm going home
Take me into Your arms
My home lies within Your heart
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
This Sea (Voltaire)
"'T was the worst of times for tinkers like you and me.
So in search of fortune I took to the sea."
"Round my neck, a key you said was to your heart.
Held it desperately as your ship left the dock"
CHORUS:
I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
for the endless hurt it gave to me.
I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.
Took you away, took you away from me.
"Silks from Singapore, a treasure from Tripoli for you.
And from Suvla Bay, I've scars for souvenirs."
"Love, your son was born. I wish you could see.
Eyes the same as yours and cries just like me."
CHORUS
"Years have passed. How many, I don't know anymore.
Lost adrift at sea, a storm comes. It's getting cold."
"I stand under moors searching a sea of blue
And forever more, I'll wait here for you."
Speak To Me (Michael Franks)
From the Towers of Babylon
The beat goes on-
All voices of the insincere.
Confusion is middle C
Your frequency is what I need to hear.
Why won't you speak to me?
Show me some affection,
Give me some direction,
Lead me to your love?
Just speak to me-
Don't torture me with silence.
Solitude's a science
I would rather not learn.
For you I would lose my heart.
How can you refuse my heart?
Legend says Michelangelo
Was moved to throw
His hammer at the statue's knee.
Resembling flesh and bone
Its mouth of stone
Was quiet company
On The Inside (Michael Franks)
I've wasted a lifetime
Pursuing an image that did not exist
Except in my own mind
Except in my own dream.
My life has convinced me
That happiness never can really be found
Until you remember
The voice of your own heart.
It's all on the inside
To say you can find it elsewhere
Would be wrong.
It's all on the inside
Each soul has its song.
It was here all along
On the inside.
It cannot be captured
On canvas it cannot be
Carved into stone.
No art can sustain it
Believe me I've tried.
It always eludes you
No matter what stratagem
You may devise.
It's no destination
A compass can find.
There's only love on the inside
No counterfeit no need for it.
A perfect place for your heart to hide
No danger near nothing to fear.
Life's hurricane can't reach within

Namah sarvajnaaya
-Adoration to the Omniscient!
Aaryaavalokiteshvara-bodhisattvo gambhiiraayaam prajnaapaaramitaayaam caryaam caramaano vyavalokayati sma: panca skandhaah; taamshca svabhaava-shuunyaan pashyati sma.
-When Holy Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva performed the deep practice in the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom, he contemplated that there were five aggregates but observed that they were devoid of essential nature.
Iha Shaariputra ruupam shuunyataa shuunyataiva ruupam, ruupaan na prithak shuunyataa, shuunyataayaa na prithag ruupam, yad ruupam saa shuunyataa, yaa shuunyataa tad ruupam.
-In this case, Shaariputra, form is voidness and voidness is itself form; voidness is not different from form, and form is not different from voidness; that which is form is voidness, and that which is voidness is form.
Evem eva vedanaa-samjnaa-samskaara-vijnaanaani.
-So it is for perception, conception, volition and consciousness.
Iha Shaariputra sarva-dharmaah shuunyataa-lakshanaa, anutpannaa, aniruddhaa, amalaa, na vimalaa, nonaa, na paripuurnaah.
-In this case, Shaariputra, all things have the characteristics of voidness; they neither arise nor perish; they are neither defiled nor pure, neither deficient nor complete.
Tasmaac Chaariputra shuunyaayaam na ruupam na vedanaa na samjnaa na samskaaraa na vijnaanaani.
-Therefore, Shaariputra, within the voidness, there is no form, no perception, no conception, no volition, nor consciousness.
Na cakshuh-shrotra-ghraana-jihvaa-kaaya-manaamsi.
-Neither is there eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind.
Na ruupa-shabda-gandha-rasa-sprashtavya-dharmaah.
-Neither is there form, sound, smell, taste, touch nor concepts.
Na cakshurdhaatur yaavan na mano-vijnaana-dhaatuh.
-Neither is there realm of sight, etc., until we come to the non-existence of realm of consciousness.
Na vidyaa, naavidyaa, na vidyaa-kshayo, naavidyaa-kshayo, yaavan na jaraa-maranam na jaraamarana-kshayo, na duhkha-samudaya-nirodha-maargaa, na jnaanam, na praaptir apraaptitvena.
-Neither is there wisdom, nor ignorance, nor extinction of wisdom, nor extinction of ignorance, etc., until we come to the non-existence of old age and death and the non-extinction of old age and death. Neither is there suffering, cause of suffering, extinction of suffering, nor the path leading to extinction of suffering. Neither is there wisdom nor acquisition because there is no grasping.
Bodhisattvasya prajnaapaaramitaam aashritya viharaty acittaavaranah. Cittaavarana-naastitvaad atrasto, viparyaasaatikraanto nishtha-nirvaanah.
-Depending on the bodhisattva's Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom, one dwells without any mental hindrance. Because of the absence of mental hindrance, one is fearless; freed from delusory thoughts, one will reach Nirvana.
Tryadhva-vyavasthitaah sarvabuddhaah prajnaapaaramitaam aashrityaanuttaraam samyaksambodhim abhisambuddhaah.
-All Buddhas dwelling in the three periods realize the highest, perfect enlightenment depending on the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom.
Tasmaaj jnaatavyo prajnaapaaramitaa-mahaamantro mahaavidyaa-mantro 'nuttara-mantro 'samasama-mantrah, sarvadukha-prashamanah, satyam amithyatvaat, prajnaapaaramitaayaam ukto mantrah.
-For this reason, know that the Great Mantra of the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom is the Great Wisdom Mantra, the Unsurpassed Mantra, and the Unequaled Mantra. It extinguishes all suffering, and is true and real because it is not false. It is the Mantra proclaimed in the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom.
Tad yathaa gate gate paaragate paarasamgate bodhi svaaha.
-Namely, "Gone, gone, gone to the other shore;
Gone completely to the other shore.
Svaha."
Iti prajnaapaaramitaa-hridayam samaaptam.
-Thus ends the Essence of the Transcendent Wisdom Sutra.
