Shambhala, past the demons
Agartha glimmering
Go for a plunge
Shambhala, past the demons
Agartha glimmering
For instance, when the recent forest fires threatened so many parts of California, and an uncontrollable one surrounded the village, they caused a wall of invisible protection to rise between them and the fires, and today one can see the very definite line where the fires ceased.

They point with humble pride to the fact that their central Temple, visible to those who succeed in penetrating the outer forests, and made of delicately carved marble and onyx, has withstood all the temblors and earthquakes of California for ages, while modern buildings expressing the height of our engineering skill are damaged.
Past the bolt, the gun, the hills (hard hat)
Slide beneath the crows (gloves and a spiked bat)
Check the sun, the shadows (and a flashlight)
River to the west (above the movie screen)
Down the hanging rope, don’t slip (and slide down)
Trickle like the rain (and hold your breath tight)
In between stalactite teeth (a light breeze)
Wait the clicks out, one two (three two one)
Take the dirt-encrusted wrist (in darkness)
Press the metal stud full in (in fungus)
Meet abandonero eyes (in skull fire)
Shove the cables all aside (Belowdown)
Check the blinking down below (lights out)
Drop my hand and go (come back tomorrow)
I’m the taxi driver (you’re the diver)
I’m the taxi driver (you’re the diver)
