| When his heart has stopped | Q |
| Making light and water | M |
| Into song | R |

| Let me hear your voice | D |
| And the voice of Eternal Beauty | K |
| Through the music of your voice | D |
| Let me gather the iris of your hands | D |
| Against my face | D |
| And close my eyes with your eyes | D |
| Let me listen with you | G |
| For the Voice | D |
