  • 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?

    Aah
    Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
    In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace
    Nothing stops desire for the human beat

    Last night was a rapture in the mosaic sky
    Dropping shards of love, dropping shards of love

    Aah
    Precious heart, precious seed, precious life conceived
    In the ring of fire, in the sleep of peace
    Nothing stops desire for the human beat

    I hunger for the cooling flame, I 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 heart, oh precious seed, oh precious life conceived
    In a ring of fire, in a sleep of peace
    Nothing stops desire for the human beat - the human beat Writer/s: JAY DEE DAUGHERTY, PATTI SMITH
