Prokopton

Rise up disciple from a far-off land

Time to get under way

Toward wisdom of yore, keep close at hand

Those who teach you how to never go astray

Brooding over for too long, behind

Your bared clenched teeth

For your misfortunes you blame the outside

Inwardly starting to seethe

Deem yourself worthy at last

To improve rather than dwell on the past

For what other master than you

Do you wait for a change of view?

Now is the fight! Just right here!

It can be won using the relevant gear

Pay attention anytime

To all the waves of your mind

Soon we'll feed the worms

Thus the truth will be fully learned

Daily deeds are truly owned

All the rest merely borrowed

A new daybreak, let's join them

The festival begins again

Endure all turmoil and noise

Take your share of soothing joys

Left alone with your thoughts

As you close your tired eyes

Escaping at least some faults

Is good enough for the one who tries

Now is the fight! Just right here!

It can be won using the relevant gear

Pay attention anytime

To all the waves of your mind
