The Initiation Process

Lyrics

(Terence McKenna – Lectures on Alchemy) I think any reasonable person can conclude that the redemption of the world, if it's to be achieved, can only be achieved through magic. It's too late for science. It's too late for hortatory politics My minds reflections in kaleidoscopic shadow I was crawling through the tropics tryna' blossom on a drop of rain How many thunder clapping moments til i found myself enlightened On the corner stone of shadow with a block of pain? Is this something to remember like the aching sand Of mother earth erupting, volcanic isolation My vocation is the reason for these tremors and the quaking ground How many bars you gonna write about this journey to the shallows of your soul before the burden starts to weigh you down? Walking knee deep in the swamp weed of a bad morning The black forms in my mind are a vacant land and information is a gathering cloud of a sandstorm Truth is nothing more than a glistening grain of sand in the desert of no returning Address the population with death as the post code Cogs of a wheel turning the grip of a choke hold, searching for delirium The journey of a fool is unfolding the path before me I found myself lost in the form where you last saw me The chariot of self is the ship that I've set sail in On these meditative waves to the shores with the next shaman My life's a thread in this universal tapestry The Bacchus of a modern time, glory Dionysius I was searching for my Isis, the queen of the last Discordians And total chaos was part of our final strategy And when its time to disappear into the cavities Prometheus was rising defying the laws of gravity The twins are intertwined, serpents of caduceus Awaken Kundalini the card of the ancient magus This arcanum of self is an archangel In a tarot card reflection formulating in the vapors of life The final gamble got me shaking the dice Taking step towards the edge to start creating the light The journey of a fool is a journey indeed The hangman's waiting by the tree for me The initiation process Slow steps to a slow death and I'm back again The journey of a fool is a journey indeed The hangman's waiting by the tree for me The initiation process Slow steps to a slow death and I'm back again
