Are the haunting lyrics of the 14th track from the album “Nothing Lasts, But Nothing Is Lost” available anywhere? All the English translations of internet searching gives nothing… Thanks if you can share them.  :D

It’s a really beautiful track. I get a lump in my throat every time I play it.
The vocal has such a haunting and sorrowful feel. It almost sounds like a lament.

No idea what the lyrics are though!

I teach Yoga in my spare time and it is not far off the opening prayer of Ashtanga Yoga. Here’s the link to it with translation in English and sanskrit. (it doesn’t always play though)

The version on the album is a slightly different prayer but I haven’t sat down to ‘suss’ it out…. :D
