Jemal (Version Two)
. . .


I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds

You lift me up and get me out
Keep me walking but never shout
"Hold the secret close", I hear you say

You know the way it goes about
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
To conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it you must be clean
With mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour I will walk
Cut the thick and break the thin

No sound to break, no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way it twists and turns
Changing color, spinning yarns
You know the way it leaves you dry
It cuts you up and takes you high

You know the way it's painted gold
Is it honey? Is it gold?
You know the way it goes about
It takes you in and spits you out
Cuts you up, cuts you up, cuts you up

You know the way it goes about
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
To conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it you must be clean
With mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
Cuts you up, cuts you up

It's okay, it goes this way
The line is thin, it twists away
Cuts you up and spits you out
Keeps you walking but never shout

. . .


It's like there's a straight way
You know, you know
I've told you before it's as thin as ice
As thin as the razor snow

Don't freeze in the snow
Don't bake in the heat
I'll be your breath
There's a place where we can meet

There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet

Use me
Don't sleep in the subway
Don't sleep in the pouring rain

Use me
Don't sleep in the subway
Don't sleep in the pouring rain

Be my voice in my midnight meditation
When I wake, be my heart's flotation
Come and fill, come and fill from the overflow
Come and play, come and play, be like a bird

Don't sleep in the subway, I'm, I'm needing you
Well I, I feel you, you're closing down, yeah
Get close, talk right through me
Get close, keep tight with me

If you fall now it could be forever
I'm telling you the line is thin now
I've told you before this hate is a sin
Empty out for the overflow, let love begin

Don't sleep in the subway
Don't sleep in the pouring rain

Don't sleep in the subway
Don't sleep in the pouring rain

There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet

. . .


From the world to the dreaming fields of light, yeah from the soaking mud
Gonna fly up to the sky to the scarlet thing in you
On the red wings I will sail at night to the scarlet thing in you
On a long lost ocean wave of light, submerged and unafraid

I saw you, you were one
I saw you, you were one
I saw you, you were one
I saw you, you were one

No way back to recall the way, 'cause I threw out all the why's
Spinning with the spider in the cave, found the scarlet thing in you
Where the birds can't reach, no words can teach
Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you

I saw you
You saw me

I saw you, you were one
I saw you, you were one
I saw you, you were one
I saw you, you were one

Everything's all right
Everything's all right
Everything's all right
Everything's all right

Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you
Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you
Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you
Spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you

. . .


Fire burning in a hill
The lines are rocky rough
Red angels wait to pick remains

The cindered shoulder
Of confused men
Separate from them, their awe

With gray desire
He looks out mad
His soft gray indigo eyes
Indigo eyes, asking

His heaven is uncovered not
A black tree blocks his way
His way is skating round a dome
His way is in dismay

The playmate sings
Like Orphee in some thunder world
Asking to be bathed in light
To be exemplified

Like Orphee in some thunder world
Asking to be bathed in light
To be exemplified

With gray desire
He looks out mad
His soft gray indigo eyes
Indigo eyes

Saw his past
He had dug for trust
With blind infected hands

And wondered as the hurt bit hard
Why the sacred weren't at hand
Only when his ears were deaf
To the angels light burst waves

Only when his ears were deaf
Did life turn from fog to fog
But not evil but estranged
But not evil but estranged

Indigo eyes
Indigo eyes
Indigo eyes
Indigo eyes

With gray desire
He looks out mad
His soft gray, indigo eyes
Indigo eyes

. . .


Love is all I need
Hope, is what I'm asking for
Lay me down to sleep
It was then that I lost you
Was dragged there too
Under the sea of mystery
Died there along with you

Love me, hold me, keep me from harm
Love me, hold me, keep me from harm

Guess, you found your own root
Dug into that fast heart
Flew, without wing or opinion
Now, you orbit the stars
Now, haunted and weary
Your vision creeps
I need a clear water
I need a release

Love me, hold me, keep me from harm
Love me, hold me, keep me from harm

Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep
Lay me down to sleep

. . .


The girls won't touch me
Cos I've got a misdirection
Living at night isn't helping my complexion
The signs all saying it's a social infection
A little bit of fun's never been an insurrection

Mamma threw me out till I get some pants that fit
She just won't approve of my strange kind of wit
I get so excited, always gotta lose
Man that send me off
Let them take the cure

Don't need a cure
Need a final solution

Buy me a ticket to a sonic reduction
Guitars gonna sound like a nuclear destruction
Seems I'm a victim of natural selection
Meet me on the other side, another direction

Don't need a cure
Need a final solution



. . .


Deep ocean, vast sea

Your ocean heart, clothed in respect
And sweet caress my uneasy mind
You dip and you swell, float and you find
And sweet caress my uneasy mind

Deep ocean, vast sea
Deep ocean, vast sea
Well, that's deep

Imagine a set of steps easily climbed
The tower of pride, the plastic of mind
Where there lies a table, the table stands
For the power of success, respect on the sign

Intelligence so cold, a heart like glass
From the surface to deep
You wave and you dive like the heart and the sun
You wave and you dive, you hold me so cold, you wave and you dive

Deep ocean, vast sea
Deep ocean, vast sea
Well, that's me

You're clothed in respect, you smell of sweet caress
Dip and swell beyond the power of fists
Your ocean heart healing uneasy minds
And I wanna dive in with you clinging to the rock

I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
And I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Deep ocean, vast sea
Deep ocean, vast sea
Well, that's deep

Your heart is hard, you think your legs hurt
You smell of aching sweet success
Your head's a supernova and you would like anything
To stop the pain from your finger screaming

And you stand, naked in the sun without leather
Whose pain you think you need
But all you need to do is undress
Let go and wash, take the steps to the other side

Up turned razors the air is thick with Karma
The Sutra of a way down, well listen boy
It's a long way down, down to Heavens Gate, to Heaven Gate
The steps, the steps to the Tower of Pride the Devil lied

Dive up to the highest point
Where our lives are saved
Where all the lives on the table stand
Power to success respect and climb the steps

. . .


A strange kind of love
A strange kind of feeling
Swims through your eyes
And like the doors
To a wide vast dominion
They open to your prize

This is no terror ground
Or place for the rage
No broken hearts
White wash lies
Just a taste for the truth
Perfect taste choice and meaning
A look into your eyes

Blind to the gemstone alone
A smile from a frown circles round
Should he stay or should he go
Let him shout a rage so strong
A rage that knows no right or wrong
And take a little piece of you

There is no middle ground
Or that's how it seems
For us to walk or to take
Instead we tumble down
Either side left or right
To love or to hate

. . .


Walking in the street, breath the only friend
Strangers pass me by, I'm moving, moving with the wind
Inside me now, the gold, the gold at rainbows end
Stranger to myself, a stranger, stranger till the end

Behind the closed door, the one we painted green
To remind me of the perfect plan

Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire, wire call
Wake me true and wake me all

Walk me in the street, take me to a view on high
To an empire state tease, tease and bake me dry
Swerve and turn on me melt me, melt me to the wall
Like an unspent fortune, I'm running, running with the call

Behind the closed door, the one we painted green
To remind me of the perfect plan

Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all

Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all

. . .


One fine night the air did bring
Two little ones, called to be
I am, yours to mind so let that be
Give your life, it's given free

Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola

When a time, that will come to part us
Forget me not, for it is here in those missing times
We send our deepest sense to climb
One fine night where one heart enjoins

Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola

Hark and be well
Go catch the light in every cell
Let the fire take the fire and the rain wash the pain
May your soul's waters never wane

Make Eden here
Send Angel's prayers
May your garden be sweet
Let the fire take the fire
Let the fire take the fire and the rain wash the pain

Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola
Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola

. . .


When the night is closing
Eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long

The sign I see it
Tell me, am I true?
All I need from you is
All I see

This city's paved with cold
Playboys buying fun
Seems there is no hunter left
Without his hunting gun

Can you feel the light? The air is wild open
Oh you see the light, it's coming through
It's there in the distance always offered to me
Always coming over a hill

Oh your seesaw smile
Lasts me all night long
Like a siren's curl
When the night is long

Now come, hold my hand
No bad vibe hearts
Hold my hand, you know
This journey could be long

Yeah the seasons come in, all the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ahh no hundred men now would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through

{Belle une rose qui a joue son role
Mon miroir, mon clef d'or, mon cheval et mon gant
Sont les cinq secrets de ma puissance
Je voulais livrer, il vous suffira de mettre ce gant
A votre main droite, il vous transportera où vous desirez l'etre}

When the night has come in
Your eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming over
All night long

Yeah the sign, I see it
Yeah the times, I see it
All I need to know from you
Is all I see

Can you feel the light? The air is wild open
Oh you see the light, it's coming through
It's there in the distance always offered to me
Always coming over a hill

Yeah the seasons come in, all the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ahh, no hundred men now would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through

Can you feel the light? The air is wild open
Oh you see the light, it's coming through
It's there in the distance always offered to me
Always coming over a hill

. . .


Look at them now, look at them do
Look they found the dove their vastness too
Whirlpools whirl and dragnets drag
Whirlpools whirl and dragnets drag

Love me do, oh love me do
Love me find the dove
This vastness sings a pretty song
This vastness must be love

Give me three the gift of one
Whose science can't describe
Whose eyes are peeled like atom bombs
Their spirit is the prize

The Sufi three winged flight they soar
All sacral join all hearts
A cavern gasps a dragon screams
The jinn men smash the ark

Four guides float four dots of God
Realistic haqq is theirs
Mystic men whose eyes are sore
From trials of bigger lairs

Look at them now, look at them do
Look they found the dove, their triad song too

A gray surprise swirls below
They could be happy too the ideas of march
Whirlpools whirl and dragnets drag
Whirlpools whirl and dragnets drag

Whirlpools whirl, dragnets drag
Hell is not the fire
Hell is your belief
In yourself as the higher

Four guides afloat, four dots of God
Look they found the dove their triad song too

Whirlpools whirl, dragnets drag
Hell is not the fire
Hell is your belief
In yourself as the higher
...

. . .


To the crowd to the world you were so dry
And with a token bird I made sent it to fly
Right to your side with a broken wing you sail
Oh like winter in July a barren river wide
I'll pray for the flood to wash on you it's here, I'll be with you

Well if the birds can reach the sky to this land
I'll be with you till the sun bursts from your side
With my hands I reach to you when you think your chance is passing by
When you blow your moon away I'll bleed like the reed
Fall with your knife it's here I'll be with you

To the crowd to the world you were so dry
And with a token bird I made sent it to fly
Right to your side with a broken wing you sail
Oh like winter in July a barren river wide
I'll pray for the flood to wash on you it's here, I'll be with you

It's here, I'll be with you, oh
I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall
I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall, oh

. . .


Roll yourself away from me
Unveil me from your layers
Lay with me
Let me plunder, no betrayal
Shame cast out
Morning sensual fire aroused
Union upon union
In union we'll flower
Sail naked in our funder
Press towards the burst

Drop the sweetest drop
Give the thunder up
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me, in the rain
Oh come with me, eh come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea

Pull me warm and slender
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea
Union upon union
Drop the sweetest drop

I think about you all day
Calling the sacred first
Rolling the sunlit day
Give me what I thirst

Drop the sweetest drop
Give the thunder up
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me in the rain
Oh come with me, eh come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea

Roll yourself away
Immortal burn alive
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me, in the rain
Oh come with me, eh come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea

Drop the sweet
Sweet
Drop the sweet
Chinchi
Chinchi chinchi chinchi chinchi chinchi
Drop the sweet
Drop the sweet
Chinchi
Drop the sweet
Drop the sweet
Chinchi...

. . .


On a long and winding gray paved street
Your breath the only friend
Chattering others surrounding you
You're going out again

It's a laugh and a gas new crowd
You tell yourself
While buttoning up a new red shirt
It's been a twenty years of doing this
Just the same night into night
Day into day with your preset mind

Wake up with your preset mind
With no self control and you decide to call the roll call
Of the socialites who mortified
Can't see as far as their next surprise

Yah, happy with nothing but the sweet F.A. of the night
Believing that they're alive and well
But if asked they have nothing to tell
Except the words of a clashing rhyme
I'll calmed and out of sync
Even real sounds like a zero to a brain in lip sync

Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll

On a long and winding gray paved street
Your breath the only friend
Chattering others surrounding you
You're going out again

It's a laugh and a gas new crowd
You tell yourself
While buttoning up a new red shirt
It's been a twenty years of doing this
Just the same night into night
Day into day forget your preset mind

Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll

. . .


Allah'im lütfet ki gittiğimiz her yere bariş götürelim
Bölücü degil bagdaştirici birleştirici olabilelim
Nefret olan yere sevgi, yaralanma olan yere affedicilik
Kuşku olan yere inanç, ümitsizlik olan yere ümit
Karanlik olan yere aydinlik ve üzüntü olan yere
Sevinç satici olmayi bize lütfet yarabbi
Kusurlari gören degil, kusuru örtenlerden
Teselli arayanlardan degil teselli edenlerden
Anlayis bekleyenlerden degil, anlayis gösterenlerden
Yalniz sevilmeyi isteyenlerden değil
Sevenlerden olmamiza yardim et
Yagmur gibi hiç bir sey ayirt etmeyip
Aktigi her yere canlilik bahsedenlerden
Günes gibi hiç bir sey ayirt etmeyip
Isigiyla tüm varliklari aydinlatanlardan;
Toprak gibi hersey üstüne bastigi halde
Hiç bir seyini esirgemeyip
Nimetlerini herkese verenlerden olmayi bize lutfet
Alan degil, veren ellerin
Affedici oldugu için affedilenlerin
Hak ile dogan hak ile yasayan
Hak ile ölenlerin ve sonsuz yasam da yeniden doganlarin
Safina katilmayi bize nasip eyle.

Amin
