lyrics

You’ve Escaped the Jungle Altar
to find yourself now trapped
in the middle of the flames
that will attack how will react

As a matter of fact
you’ve always felt
as if now trapped
They tracked your scent
about a meter away
way back, way back,
way back in the day

And now the flames have claimed
your name and everything that
you have mumbled
The trouble of getting
drunk far away in the jungle

Now, you hear the rustle
now you staring as
they move like Lizard Cats
Fear is that feeling of losing
everything as the wizard chants
the wizard chants over the sermon…

They’re the type to lose
clothes, swerving
The sky dilutes to purple
in the middle of the dragon’s burning

Lady V gradually grabs your
neck, yo, she’s yearning
Dressed in African silks though
she ain’t African, she learning

Here in Asia,
Dr. Strangelove with his Low EQ
could never imagine the depths
of the souls ‘cause he see through

He see through but he knew
better than you to chase
demons into the indigo night
The people circle around what
they worship, the symbol is ripe
for the picking

So sickening, they hissing
your fear is golden
for the flames that toss
dirt on your name
now their mouths are moaning
and groaning

Un-Controlling they chains
react to the flames
An evil hue to a silly fool
like you who’s
lost in the daze…listen…

Lady V wants you
to come as you are
Head spinning seeing stars
Head in the clouds like Nimbus
all your wishes have now dissolved

If you had any clue
what they’ve been
doing here since September
you would’ve stayed far away
How’d you like to be remembered

This is the time you pray
to all your ancestors
but the only spirits
here are the demons with
the baggage so clever
right near your ear
as you fall to the ground
the only Quest for Glory
is the silent sleep so sound

On this side of town, you’re worried…

You cry a little inside
wondering
“Why even try to fight addiction any longer...”
Let your freak flag fly from
Shanghai-to-the-Chi

Lady V brings you the
jewels of the beast
How foolish of me
to not be you in this scene

But, see, out of body
experiences let me
see you through me
The analysis of paralysis
the spell cast in grief

Be reborn…Be reborn…
‘Cause you ain’t dead yet…
Listen…you ain’t dead yet…
