Peradam (feat. Anoushka Shankar, Tenzin Choegyal & Charlotte Gainsbourg)

I would not speak of the mountain I would not speak of the mountain I would not speak of the mountain Its summit must be inaccessible But its base accessible But its base accessible to human beings as nature has made them It must be unique And it must exist geographically The gateway to the invisible must be visible The gateway to the visible must be invisible The peradam Translucent as the belly of an insect Harder than diamond We will find it, Adam's stone We will fill our sects with nothing Turn it this way and we will climb It disappears, we will climb Yet not move a single muscle For that mountain exists In the mind of humankind I would not speak of the mountain I would not speak of the mountain I would not not speak of the mountain I would not sp— I would not speak, s— The peradam The peradam I was leaving with a group of friends To seek the mountain Which is the path joining earth and sky It must exist somewhere on our planet And it must be the dwelling of a superior humanity Just as a drop of mercury by its surface tension Remains impenetrable to the finger that tries its center (touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it) (Come on) We have reached the unknown continent It is the continent of our desire A beautiful problem For the unknown mathematician One, two, three, five And all the philosophers, nine Dance I am the mountain You are the wind I am the mountain You are gravity Let it go Let it go I am the cock Growing in the milk of dawn Drink it Drink, drink Drink, first muscle Incline, let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Climb Climb Climb Climb (come on, children) Climb (climb) Climb (climb) Climb (climb) Climb Climb Climb Climb Your mind I would not speak of the mountain I would not speak of the mountain Adam Stone Turn it
