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.
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 !

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
