about

Vishuddha:

Inspiration from Nagarjuna's Precious Garland
Line 191:
Having spoken truthful and gentle words
for a long period of time,
you will have a broad tongue, king.
and your speech will be Brahma's voice.

Line 192:
Through always and continually
uttering words that are true,
you will have a lion's jaw;
glorious, you will be undefeatable.

Also from The Red Book by Carl G. Jung
"When the flame of your greed consumes you, and nothing remains of you but ash, so nothing of you was steadfast. Yet the flame in which you consumed yourself has illuminated many. But if you flee from your fire full of fear, you scorch your fellow men, and the burning torment of your green cannot die out, so long as you do not desire yourself."

lyrics

Don't lie to us
and desecrate the word.
We'll all be
lost and confused.

Tell the truth
and you'll have
jaws like a lion.
Otherwise, you'll burn
just like a liar.

I'm burning and I don't know when I'll get the rain;
Desire running mad free me from this chain.
Fire underfoot, I'm walking with the flame;
Pushing through the heat, I'm thankful for the pain (x2)

In the desert night,
A barren wasteland.
Looking to the sky,
Help me understand.
Falling to my knees...
Feeling all the weight.

I have lost my way,
I have lost it all.
I will burn these lies,
I will tell the truth.


Tell the truth
and you'll have
jaws like a lion.
Otherwise, you'll burn
just like a liar.

I'm burning and I don't know when I'll get the rain;
Desire running mad free me from this chain.
Fire underfoot, I'm walking with the flame;
Pushing through the heat, I'm thankful for the pain (x2)
