Kiss the Ground

[00:30.89] I'm in a golden temple,
[00:34.45] In a bombed out street,
[00:40.00] Feel the rough and tumble
[00:44.47] Down where the borders meet.
[00:48.98] I hear a sandstorm falling
[00:53.58] Down where the tears have dried
[00:58.90] And there's a west wind calling,
[01:03.43] But I get no reply.
[01:06.17] And I kiss the ground,
[01:10.77] I kiss the ground,
[01:15.27] Nothing around.
[01:27.91] There is no hidden karma,
[01:32.44] There is no sacred plight,
[01:37.82] There is no special armour
[01:42.47] To take me through the night.
[01:44.21] I kiss the ground,
[01:48.75] I kiss the ground,
[01:54.28] Nothing around,
[02:00.53] I kiss the ground.
[02:05.99] I kiss the ground,
[02:10.55] Nothing around.
[02:18.67] Into the space between us,
[02:23.12] Into the words that say
[02:27.79] That every law demeans us
[02:32.27] Then every price you pay.
[02:36.79] There is no hidden karma,
[02:41.21] There is no sacred plight,
[02:46.70] There is no special armour
[02:52.12] To take me through the night.
[02:53.99] I kiss the ground,
[02:58.46] I kiss the ground,
[03:03.92] Nothing around,
[03:08.43] I kiss the ground.
[03:12.95] I kiss the ground,
[03:18.30] I kiss the ground,
[03:22.91] Nothing around,
[03:27.44] I kiss the ground.
[03:32.80] There is no manna-mania,
[03:37.44] There is no banquet here,
[03:41.92] There is only ghettoes.
[03:51.97] I kiss the ground.
