Ultimatums arrive with the dawn
Gold tomatoes grow wild on the lawn
Hallelujah! the end is at hand
Shinin' through ya like a light with no lamp
Well you can scatter away or save
your seed till the threshing day
but you cannot escape
well...
High on a higher light
drinking the sun like wine
this heart of brass
must pass into hell-fire
and it's alright, yeah...
Naga sadhu my faithfullest foe
Satygraha will make you to molt
Shedding feathers through forests of sky
A starry desert reflects in your eye
Well you can sharpen your mind like steel,
Die for what's really Real
But you can never heal
Well...
High in a higher sky
Drinking the wind like wine
Each blade of grass
Must pass
Into hell-fire
And it's alright, yeah....
Well there's nothing you have to find
that you can't find outside your mind
But you can learn to fly high
High in the Highest High
Drinking the void like wine
This world of glass
Must pass into hell-fire
And it's alright, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, yeah....

I stumbled across this artist on youtube. A terrific banjo player, fiddler and singer, who does the old tunes the old ways. Give a listen and drink in that good clean mountain air. Daniel Harvester
