Red Eyes

It's holy water blessed by sun which brings our seeds to life

It's our gold artillery which guards them in the night

Our daily rituals bring forth the initial sprouts of green

Crystals burn, explode the sky, painting cosmic scenes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Yeah

Passed around for generations, fostered by the youth

Calming herb, taste and feel, connecting us with truth

Joining those who gather to enjoy this sacred rite

Separating us from angst brought on by daily plight

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

How long till we learn

To let our forethought burn?

Demonized and vilified by those who trade in fear

Healing strains were once oppressed by cultured profiteers

They dig up roots and scorch the stars from pocketing their prize

The hypocrites soon tremble by the army of red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes

Red eyes
