The flame engulfed the silence
splitting apart the dark

a momentary flash that burns the eyes

In the end, it devoured itself and scattered

A vanishing point of blue light in finite time

sun-gan-gwa yeong-won-i mat-mul-li-neun bul-byeon-ui si-gong
a single fire turned into ashes
a silence where everything has retreated
an unchanging space-time where the moment and eternity intertwine
a silence where everything has retreated
an unchanging space-time where the moment and eternity intertwine
The name that resounds from the lowest
depths, the sign of existence etched onto
the soul

the fire wakes up again from the ashes as an ember.
The ember with its resilient heat
melts the coarse grains to translucence

thus, the breath lit the fire
hi-da-ne-wa a-t-su-i i-ki-ni-yo-t-te fu-ta-ta-bi mo-e-a-ga-ru.
the ember flares up again by the hot breath.
At last, the flame is born
