Bang the drum and the race is on
Swallow hard and the day is done
Face the camera, choose the one
from a million painted cards
Now we begin the game:
What is my earthly aim?
Deal the Tarot and draw the wheel
Spokes a crossroad in fertile fields
Seek you fortune and ask the crows
what their circling eye reveals
The riddle remains the same
What is your earthly aim?
Circulation metastasize
illumination from soul to eyes
Call creation eroticized
Find my vision, see the light
Burning in rapture's flame --
That is my earthly aim
God surrounds me
walking in beauty
all around
all around
Roll the credits and strike the set
What's the problem, not ready yet?
No one's leaving this place alive
Speak your piece and place your bets
Desire without a name ...
That is my earthly aim
That is my earthly aim
