[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
