lyrics

Center of the circle where two serpents intersect,
you spun me tales of gold and murder in a spaceman dialect,
and if my right side is the sacred sun,
my left side is the moon,
and if the two kiss in Sushumna,
I saw you.
I saw you.

Kingdom for a horse;
traded my kingdom for a Lung-Ta steed.
From the air to the fire, she's all that flows,
from the fire to the air to the deep blue sea.

Just Breathe.

The sun and moon,
the sun and moon,
between the two,
I saw you.

I got the key,
the treasury,
blooms from a tree.

Plucked this peach with my eyes of blue,
from the hills to the valleys where a Kathmandu,
from the hills to the valleys where a cat can do.

(from the hills to the valleys, from the hills to the valleys)

lake of snakes beside the city,
drain the lake and make it pretty,
kill a demon, what a pity.

(all day long they ran about naked or swam,
they were wanton, witch-like girls,
liking eccentric and forbidden ways)

(when Muhammad proclaimed that
the sword is the key of heaven and of hell,
he only echoed a Japanese sentiment)

(Was it the spirit of the master,
or of his tutelary God
that cast a formidable spell over our sword?)

(You don't kill enough.
Don't you eat pepper and eggplants?)

Nightcall, sword and sorcery,
Nightcall, on the hangin' tree,

hangin' upside-down from my lotus feet,
tradin' eye for an eye, now my
eyes count three,

Nightcall, pierced by spear to bleed,
Nightcall, on the hangin' tree.
