Goddess of The Canyon Floor

[Intro] [Verse] Lungs pumping heavy with the resin from the ancient branch Soul jumping steady in a manic kind of cosmic dance She’s the sovereign of the soil with the copper skin I’m the pilgrim for her passion where the gods begin Herb burning slow in the temple of her hollow palm Medicine woman with the thunder and the holy calm Wrap my spirit in the velvet of her sacred shroud Blow the secrets of the ages in a vapor cloud She’s a deity of dirt and the mountain stream Dripping nectar on my hunger like a lucid dream Tongue tripping on the nectar of her herbal bliss Sealing every single portal with a serpent kiss [Verse] Flicker of the ember in the center of the dark room Thickest kind of cedar scent rising from the bark bloom Body like a canyon where the river wants to run deep Eyes like an emerald where the ancient secrets won’t sleep Devoted to the motion of the man who holds the flame high Voted for the ocean when she’s looking at the same sky Tangled in the roots of the willow and the sage brush Feeling every pulse in a frantic kind of stage rush Syllables are swinging with the rhythm of her hip sway Everything I’m singing is a tribute to her rich way Healer with the hands of a master of the pulse point Burn another blessing in the marrow of the skull joint [Chorus] Goddess of the canyon floor Open up the golden door Heal me with the heavy smoke Break the heavy iron yoke He is mine and I am his The only one that can hit this Fire in the forest bed Where the living meet the dead [Verse] Rapid fire friction when I’m pressing on her vertebrae Sacred benediction in the middle of the murder play Skin against the satin of the moss upon the limestone Pattern of the planets in the marrow of her spine bone She’s the architect of ecstasy the mistress of the mend Every broken piece of me is starting to transcend Licking on the resin while I’m sinking in the soft heat Lessons from a legend in the middle of a heart beat I’m a king because she chose me for the ritual Love is never lonely when the magic is habitual Indigenous and infinite the priestess of the high peaks Kissing on the spirit till the heavy metal pipe leaks [Verse] Twisting up the dialect to mimic how her breath sounds Resting in the temple where the energy of death bounds She’s a healer with a fever for the way I keep the pace Never would believer find a mercy in a holy face Deep inside the valley of the shadow of her inner thighs Climbing up the mountain just to see it through her inner eyes Fully committed she’s the vessel for the pure truth I’m the lucky witness to the beauty of her pure youth Crystals on the table and the smoke is in the rafters Living out the fable and the happy ever afters Lock the rhythm down while I’m drowning in her deep well Casting out the demons with a heavy kind of deep spell [Chorus] Goddess of the canyon floor Open up the golden door Heal me with the heavy smoke Break the heavy iron yoke He is mine and I am his The only one that can hit this Fire in the forest bed Where the living meet the dead [Bridge] Earth mother lover with the medicine to make me whole Underneath the cover she is swallowing my entire soul Grind the leaf to powder while she whispers in a dead tongue Heart is beating louder while I’m filling up a lead lung Devotion is a potion and she drinks it till the cup breaks Emotion is an ocean and she rides it till the crust shakes Healer of the spirit with a body like a gold mine I can finally hear it when we cross into the old line [Chorus] Goddess of the canyon floor Open up the golden door Heal me with the heavy smoke Break the heavy iron yoke He is mine and I am his The only one that can hit this Fire in the forest bed Where the living meet the dead [Chorus] Goddess of the canyon floor Open up the golden door Heal me with the heavy smoke Break the heavy iron yoke He is mine and I am his The only one that can hit this Fire in the forest bed Where the living meet the dead [Outro]
