Mosaic
Last night in Konya, a voice carried me
To the pulpit of the arrow, did you hear it too?
The oracle was written on a silver leaf
Last night, I read the words, did you read them, too?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Nothing stops desire for the human beat
Last night was a rapture in the mosaic sky
Dropping shards of love, dropping shards of love
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace
Nothing stops desire (desire) for the human beat
My hunger for the cooling flame
My hunger for the infinite game
Last night in Konya a voice carried me
To the pulpit of the arrow, did you hear it too?
The oracle was written on a silver leaf
Last night, I read the words, did you read them, too?
Devour me, yeah, devour me
Oh, precious life
Oh, precious seed, oh, precious heart that lives
In a ring of fire, in a sleep of peace
Nothing stops
The human beat
The human beat
To the pulpit of the arrow, did you hear it too?
The oracle was written on a silver leaf
Last night, I read the words, did you read them, too?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Nothing stops desire for the human beat
Last night was a rapture in the mosaic sky
Dropping shards of love, dropping shards of love
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace
Nothing stops desire (desire) for the human beat
My hunger for the cooling flame
My hunger for the infinite game
Last night in Konya a voice carried me
To the pulpit of the arrow, did you hear it too?
The oracle was written on a silver leaf
Last night, I read the words, did you read them, too?
Devour me, yeah, devour me
Oh, precious life
Oh, precious seed, oh, precious heart that lives
In a ring of fire, in a sleep of peace
Nothing stops
The human beat
The human beat
