Laurie Anderson, Tenzin Choegyal, Jesse Paris Smith - Lotus Born, No Need to Fear lyrics

Awakened one with  a body like this
You  will see your home and family
As though you were meeting them in a dream

But although you speak to them
You  will get no reply
You  will see your relatives
And family weeping
So you will think "I am dead"
"What  shall I do?"
And you will feel intense pain
Like the pain of a fish rolling in hot sand

But now, suffering is no use
Even  though you were attached to
Your relatives and family it is no use
So do not be attached
Invoke the lord of great compassion
And there will be no suffering or fear

Awakened one
Since your mind is separated from your body
You can not settle down
You feel angry and cold
And consciousness becomes airy
Speeding, swaying and impermanent

You will think "So i am dead"
"What shall I do now?"

And you will feel intense and boundless pain
Do not occupy yourself with
All kinds of thoughts
But rest your mind in it's basic state

But since you are a mental body
You cannot die
And even though your body is cut into pieces
You will recover
You are really the natural form of emptiness
So there is no need to fear
The lords of death are the
Natural form of emptiness
Your own confused projections and you
Are emptiness
The mental body of unconscious tendencies

Emptiness cannot harm emptiness
And external lords of death, gods
Evil spirit's demons and so on
Have no reality apart from
Your own confused projections

So recognize this at this moment
Recognize everything as the bardo
