Lyrics
This is song from a new album, this one
It's a song called "Opium Trail"
I took a line that leads you to the opium trail
Oriental eyes reveal the lies, deceit, betrayal
On this journey behold one who travels far
You called him fool, but now you are
The wizard wanders through the world you made from dreams
The splashing whirlpool hide the frightened streams
Exotic dancers, flashing lancers, this mysterious space
The fanfare advances, the warlord fall from grace
It clears our pain
But your got it's claimed, my love
You feel the need but you bleed
You must concede, my love
No one to blame, no shame, my love
You crave again, my love
I took a line that comes from the golden states of Shan
The smugglers trail that leads to the opium den
The Chinese connection refines to heroin
Depart your heart, you crave again
You feel a need
But you bleed
You concede, my love
There's no one to blame
Or you feel a shame
You crave again, my love
On opium trail
Thank you
