Bardo by Todd Rundgren Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been easy until now
But you'll likely question how
You have traveled far, it's true
But there's much more left to do

For it's time to pay the toll
And we never know the sum of what we owe

[Chorus 1]
You can't go back from where you came
You must move on and face the flame
Of the last bardo

[Verse 2]
You can pray unto your god
But your prayers will bring you naught
For in here you bear the scar
Of exactly what you are

It matters not what you believe
And it matters even less what you think you know
[Chorus 2]
So put on your little show
But no further will you go
'Til you pass the last bardo

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus 3]
You will surrender all you hide
And be cleansed and purified
And of your burden you'll be free
If it takes eternity in the last bardo
