GARDEN OF THE GODS

+ Show full styles

(Verse 1) Open the book! Plants of the Gods! Defying the rulers and their baton rods! Schultes, Hofmann, Rätsch on the page Fourteen majors in a chemical cage! Lexicon deep, ninety-one strong Government telling us we living wrong! But we know the truth, nature is the key Unlock the mind and set the spirit free! (Verse 2) Grandma's genetics! Opium bloom! Different colors dispelling the gloom! Intolerant to synthetic! Fuck the pill! I need the poppy from the top of the hill! Trichocereus standing! Datura the queen! I was too young to know what it mean! Gods in the garden! Surrounded by power! Waiting for the minute! Waiting for the hour! (Verse 3) Raid one! Raid two! Raid number three! Pigs in the house coming after me! Early teens trauma! Rocky road paved! Three convictions! But I never caved! Hydro shop worker! Party pill time! Turning a plant into a federal crime! Four decades later! Still blowing smoke! The war on drugs is a fucking joke! (Verse 4) Gold tops! Orchards! Kiwi fruit land! Eating the shrooms right out of the hand! Melted the time! Pulsed the real! Breaking the seal! Breaking the seal! Loved every minute! Loved every pulse! Checking the system for a sign of a pulse! Psilocybe magic! Flesh of the god! Walking on the earth with the lightning rod! (Verse 5) San Pedro bandit! Raiding the patch! Brewed up the cactus! Down the hatch! Vibrated planes! Fractals spinning! Meeting the entities! Look who's winning! Spiritual journey! Loved it all! Answering the ancient herbal call! Drank the slime! Felt the vibration! Found the truth in the hallucination! (Verse 6) Peyote grower! Twenty years straight! Lophophora buttons on the golden plate! Grafted and seeded! Never ate a crumb! San Pedro hit me like a kick drum! Respect the cactus! Let it grow slow! Watching the little green buttons glow! I keep it sacred! I keep it safe! Hidden away like a secret waif! (Verse 7) Salvia! No! The shrink-wrapped box! Putting the brain in the paradox! "Going out the way you told yourself!" Put that plant back on the shelf! Grew it and hated it! Terror and dread! Fucked with the wiring inside of the head! Not for me! I leave it alone! Chilling the blood right to the bone! (Verse 8) Morning Glory! Kidult haze! New Zealand acid in the younger days! Ipomoea seeds! Chewing the cud! Mixing the visions with the flesh and blood! From the child to the adult! Still standing here! Facing the system without any fear! Plants of the Gods! The story is told! I'm walking the path of the brave and the bold!
