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
