 Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me
An omnipresent pearl am I and both worlds cannot compass me
Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me

An omnipresent pearl am I and both worlds cannot compass me
I am the stars, the sky, the angel, revelation come from God
So hold your tongue and silent be! There is no tongue can compass me
Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me
An omnipresent pearl am I and both worlds cannot compass me

I am the burning bush. I am the rock that rose into the sky
Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me
An omnipresent pearl am I and both worlds cannot compass me

I am the atom, sun, four elements, five saints, dimensions six
Go seek my attributes! But explanations cannot compass me
Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me
An omnipresent pearl am I and both worlds cannot compass me

With such a wealth of wares, this worldly counter cannot compass me
I am both shell and pearl, the Doomsday scales, the bridge to Paradise
With such a wealth of wares, this worldly counter cannot compass me

I am the Holy Book, its letters, he to whom God spoke
The word, the one who spoke it and the argument I am
I am both shell and pearl, the Doomsday scales, the bridge to Paradise
With such a wealth of wares, this worldly counter cannot compass me

Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me
An omnipresent pearl am I and both worlds cannot compass me
I am the atom, sun, four elements, five saints, dimensions six
Go seek my attributes! But explanations cannot compass me

Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me
I am both shell and pearl, the Doomsday scales, the bridge to Paradise
With such a wealth of wares, this worldly counter cannot compass me
I am the Holy Book, its letters, he to whom God spoke
The word, the one who spoke it and the argument I am
Cannot compass me, cannot compass me, cannot compass me, cannot compass me

I am both shell and pearl, the Doomsday scales, the bridge to Paradise
With such a wealth of wares, this worldly counter cannot compass me
Pay due regard to form, acknowledge content in the form, because
Body and soul I am, but soul and body cannot compass me
Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me
An omnipresent pearl am I and both worlds cannot compass me
