John Norum - Opium Trail

I took a line
That leads you to the Opium Trail
Oh your cires
You feel the rise to seek the Trail
On this journey behold one who travels far
You called him fool, but now you are


The wizard wanders through the world he made from dreams
The splahing whirlpool drowns the frightened screams
Exotic dances flashing lenses this mysterious space
The fanfare advances, the wall of thoughts may break


It clears your pain, but it's got to cling again, my love
You feel the need, but it lets you bleed
You must be seen my love
No one to blame, no shame, you crave again and again, my love
No use to plead, from you it feeds
Don't grieve, my love
Oh, it's got you my love


I took a line that comes from the golden states of sham
The smugglers trail that leads you to the opium den
The chinese connection binds to heroin
The part the heart you crave again


It clears your pain, but it leads you bleed
You must be seen, my love
No one to blame, no shame, you crave again and again, my love
No use to plead, from you it feeds
Don't grieve my love
Oh, it's got you, my love
