Zen Buddhists with flamethrowers.
Despite how bad or good it might come out I couldn't help not writing something about this but I thought I might share it since the idea came from somebody in the forums.


Zen Buddhists With Flamethrowers

There's a world of Buddha around you, go after it.
Embrace the moment and you may discover it.
We'll be there to guide you with our fiery efficiency,
With untamed embers we have undisputed proficiency.

We've got an endless supply to sate our desire,
With meticulous practice you’ll learn the way of the fire.
Light keeps us going in our meditation "just-sitting",
It helps us to see better into the nature of everything.

You must understand that before we can transcend
We have to find our path of enlightenment.
So we hope that you can see and thus comprehend
That fire lights our way when we are ignorant.
We are Zen Buddhists with flamethrowers;
There's no room for earthly desire, sin or wrath,
All we wanna do is blaze a flame to light our path.

With awareness and discipline we'll scorch their rears,
They'll have a crispy skin and well-done interiors.
In intense moment-by-moment life meditation, our Zen
Is stoked with infernos of wildfires in every koan.

With our pyromaniac flamethrowers and humility
We shall attain the flares of the eternal nirvana satori.
But though we smoulder and smoke, we are leaning
To always burn and set alight by not burning.

You must understand that before we can transcend
We have to find our path of enlightenment.
So we hope that you can see and agree to stand
Away, when our fire blazes over all who are ignorant.
We are Zen Buddhists with flamethrowers;
There's no room for earthly desire, sin or wrath,
All we wanna do is blaze a flame to light our path.

LOL that is a song that is like made for the forum. only one problem thou the Zen Buddhists would have flamethrowers by not having flamethrowers. and would make fire by not making fire, and be Pyros by not being pyros :)

I couldn't help but imagine an army of dragons dressed as bhuddist monks and wearing giant gold chains around their necks...

It doesn't have a tune. I just got an idea after reading Ghostway's comment.

If Zen Buddhists had flamethrowers by not having them then this song could be sung by not being sung. Or something like that.

Excuse me, my head will explode now.
