I didn't ask to come here what's the deal is this for real

At every step there's suffering can I escape is it too late

The clock is ticking fast right now I'm strong but will it last

Hindered by disease an death am I prepared for my last breath

Dealt this bag of bones and all the karma all I've ever known

Is pain and sorrow stop me if I am wrong

But in this lifetime I should make the best of this bad bargain temple of

I wanna know the facts where am I from where am I at

Always prone to make mistakes my eyes don't see I can't relate

My mind attacks again I thought before it was my friend

Anchored by the pains in life it brings me down but I will try

Temple of Jiva

I've gotta take what's dealt my way

And with a grain of salt I'll make the best of my mistakes

I won't depend on a crutch because the Temple of Jiva is ignorance

The senses are just paths leading to death

And when I answer their demands I know where I am led

More pain and sorrow remorse

So I'll just make the best of with what I have and answer no mor

The age of Kali quarrelsome what can be done

Now we struggle to live in this world

As the banner of death unfurls

There must be authority or disarray

We must seek authority today
