Desert Search for Techno Allah Lyrics

All but the truth - forget
And from this union cup
We will drink wine tonight

Qiyamat qiyamat a tawil'
Qiyamat qiyamat insan al kamel

Haqiqat itself is drunk
So drinks the Hidden Imam

Pride of the peacock angel
Under the feather veils

Dark tresses under the black light

Maxthepimp, I agree wholeheartedly!

This is my favorite song on Disco Volante. I googled the translation and found that bunglefever.com has a faq section that gives a great explanation of what could be the meaning. The person who explains it also points out a reference.
