A. S. M. (A State of Mind) - Utopia lyrics

[Shalim] As I brush another branch out of my path I find myself in A wealth of lush vegetation, dream like manifestation And I delve into it though unsettling at first Rich thirst overpowers any doubt, curiosity influenced [The Mighty Diamonds as The Elders] Welcome home Shalim No more will you roam You have ups and downs in life some time So we welcome you home, Shalim [Shalim] Is this even possible? [Narrator] Was it possible he died and breached the gates of eden? Once again a doctrine shrinks and shrivels in the face of reason Even as he first begins absorbing this environment Utopia sits humble in its brimming cornucopia Lazy sages splayed in swaying hammocks and he couldn't quite Place the scent of burning mystic herbs from out the wooden pipe Children being taught to read and write As if the tyrant couldn't touch them with a sliver of his might A tiny enclave of light [Shalim] And after all the hardship and sorrow I finally feel like I'm at home There's no telling where the wind blows tomorrow But I know I'm here where I belong Yes after all suffering and horror that I've seen I no longer feel so alone And there is no telling when the tide comes in I feel alive again, and I'm home [The Mighty Diamonds as The Elders] After all is said and done We've reached the point where we have some fun Prosperity next to none [Narrator] He comes upon a man carrying a haul Of glistening fresh river fish Says that all the earths gifts are the temple and the vicarage The girls are magnificent, each one an empress, he could sense it As if he'd always known, and for the first time He truly felt at home within his bones he could depend on That beautiful blossoming pink rhododendron The gem on the string around his neck was gently drawn to The palm trees, the elders, and their song of sweet harmony [The Mighty Diamonds as The Elders] Prosperity next to none Prosperity [Shalim] One quiet night around the fire's light the stars aligned, a spark ignited And while eating belko berries scents delighted my libido We know little of the power bringing nearer what was meant to be Of all the many entities I only see Ashira [The Mighty Diamonds as The Elders] Prosperity
