[00:45.35]They're gathered in circles
[00:49.40]the lamps light their faces
[00:53.61]The crescent moon rocks in the sky
[01:02.51]The poets of drumming
[01:06.16]keep heartbeats suspended
[01:10.54]The smoke swirls up and then dies
[01:17.60]
[01:21.09]Would you like my mask?
[01:25.20]would you like my mirror?
[01:29.54]cries the man in the shadowing hood
[01:37.78]You can look at yourself
[01:41.76]you can look at each other
[01:46.12]or you can look at the face
[01:49.30]the face of your god
[01:53.37]
[02:11.84]The stories are woven
[02:15.97]and fortunes are told
[02:20.14]The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
[02:28.72]The magic lies scattered
[02:32.90]on rugs on the ground
[02:37.19]Faith is conjured in the night market's sound
[02:43.92]
[02:47.55]Would you like my mask?
[02:51.41]would you like my mirror?
[02:56.10]cries the man in the shadowing hood
[03:04.28]You can look at yourself
[03:08.44]you can look at each other
[03:12.98]or you can look at the face
[03:15.71]the face of your god
[03:20.06]
[03:55.56]The lessons are written
[03:59.41]on parchments of paper
[04:03.62]They're carried by horse from the river Nile
[04:11.65]says the shadowy voice
[04:16.30]In the firelight, the cobra
[04:20.52]is casting the flame a winsome smile
[04:28.14]
[04:30.67]Would you like my mask?
[04:34.84]would you like my mirror?
[04:39.63]cries the man in the shadowing hood
[04:47.88]You can look at yourself
[04:51.98]you can look at each other
[04:56.14]or you can look at the face
[04:59.19]the face of your god
