Description
Short Song Description:
Amanita : the magic mushroom, the golden head
Long Song Description:
Amanita : the magic mushroom, the golden head
used by shamans and seers from ancient times
for a glimpse of the beyond.
But then the veil falls again
if you haven’t paid the entrance fee !
Story Behind the Song:
A walk through the Shola forests where the magic mushrooms grow wild. A psychedelic journey interrupted by the gentle chiding of the 'wise one'. "You haven't paid the entrance fee". There are no short cuts on the path.

Lyrics
WALKING THROUGH THE SHOLA TREES

QUIET NIGHT, GENTLE BREEZE


ALL ALONE, TIRED AND COLD


STUMBLED DOWN TO MY KNEES


SUDDENLY A BLINDING LIGHT


HIGH ABOVE BIRDS TOOK FLIGHT


PARALYZED I COULD ONLY MOAN


HEARD A SOUND TO MY RIGHT





AMANITA, AMANITA


THE ANCIENTS SEE





A MAN APPEARED WITH A LONG WHITE BEARD


SCORCHING EYES INTO MINE PEERED


GO MY SON HE SAID TO ME


YOU HAVEN’T PAID THE ENTRANCE FEE


AMANITA, AMANITA


THE ANCIENTS SEE
