Recital's recompense

Namo Amida Butsu
Sweet it is just saying the Word
Timelessness then spending my precious time so utterly well, well, well
Buying me nothing a sales pitch could cover
But effecting true value's incalculable purchasing power nonetheless
A pure purchase upon all the slippery self-salesmanship
My daily dying then so damn lively
With Namo Amida Butsu
Namo Amida Butsu
Namo Amida Butsu
