about

Lyrics inspired by the mystical sufi poetry of Rumi and Hafiz.

lyrics

THE BELOVED

I see you in the forest, dancing in the virgin breeze
I see you in the harrowed eyes of famished entities
I feel you in the river flowing to eternity
I feel you everywhere, in the silence touching me

Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns on
Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns
Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns on
Igniting my soul forever

You are the striking snake, you are the cooing dove
You are the essence in the eyes of everyone I love
You are the tearing storm, you are the diamond sea
You are the wordless bliss, the whisper washing over me

Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns on
Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns
Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns on
Igniting my soul forever

Been wandering in the wilderness of all that is
Searching through the labyrinth of creation
Dreaming in the nothingness of everything
Dancing in the spirit-land of illumination

Seasons of pain clear the way
Seasons of shame are yesterday
Seasons of pain clear the way
Seasons of shame are yesterday

O my beloved, the enchantment of your endless song!
You are the path that I have wandered loving for so long
O my divine Friend, you are the one that sets me free
My heart is yearning, desiring you to be in me

Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns on
Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns
Like a kiss from the lips of God that burns on
Igniting my soul forever
