                 Ryuichi Sakamoto (featuring David Sylvian)

                   Untitled 01 - 4th Movement - Salvation

        (the following is the poem that is spoken by David Sylvian)

                          When the little one came
                            A hole was blown open
          A partial surrendering in the midst of knowing And for an
          instance the constant heart shed its own tears Wave upon
                            wave carried me over
                   Beyond the peripheries of hope and fear
         Deadening the voice of relentless biography I stood at the
          center and danced at the extremities Mapping the city as
                              subtle as silence
                    Then on, outwards, into the darkness
                           When the crazy one came
                    She placed her finger on my forehead
                            And pushed on through
                           I woke up, face on fire
                            Spitting out diamonds
                          Thoroughly lost to logic
                             Craving her madness

               This poem can also be heard as RealAudio sample
