Opium Man

Once he stood behind the cemetery gate
And watched the masses die
Now he lives in gloomy tombs
Where he leads a double life
He's the severe reaper
But he's also just a child
Truly born of nature
Uncontrolled and wild

Living in his world of constant total perfect high
Stoned each day and far out proudly, measuring the sky
Wanna fly?

Then one day he closed his eyes
And visions came flowing by
Well he's seen his body numb and still
Falling from the sky
Now he's like the rose he loves
Bloody child of dawn
Underwater mother
Cares about her son

Living in his world of constant total perfect high
Stoned each day and far out proudly, measuring the sky
Wanna fly?
