Escape! Escape!

Throw away the chains of life,
And leave yourself behind.
Leave behind material things,
And live a life untimed.

Break one link within the chain,
Then drift beyond yourself,
To a world beyond all worlds,
Where to be poor is wealth.

Rid yourself of earthly things,
And seven deadly sins.
Then go beyond the beyond,
Where he who looses wins.

Somewhere in the everywhere,
There is a place to go;
Where movement is motionless,
And to be fast is slow.

Here on earth we're bound by links
of wealth, of lust and greed.
Take a journey to the void
Find love - that's all we need.
