Gamelan Dreams

vom Album Bali Nights

Lyrics

Metal voices singing old Bronze and iron find their tongues The gong shakes through my ribs and spine I taste the copper in the air Gamelan dreams bronze and gold Gamelan dreams bronze and gold The shimmer lives inside my bones Bronze and gold Overtones that have no name Weaving through the rain on stone Each mallet strike a tiny sun The night glows from within Bronze remembers every hand that struck it The overtones carry fingerprints of the dead Gamelan dreams bronze and gold Gamelan dreams bronze and gold The shimmer lives inside my bones Bronze and gold A hundred keys ring out at once The air becomes a solid thing Vibration pressed against my throat I feel the pitch behind my teeth The lowest gong still shakes the floor The highest note still rings in light Between them all this ancient hum The island's metal heart Bronze and gold bronze and gold
