Vast, as far as the eyes can see
To kill all pain and misery
Behold, a sea of red and white
A poppy blooms, forever bright
A sear on the head of the pod inside
A milky extract, tried to hide
The Sepulchur of all solomn sin
The beatiful flower helps us win
We take this tar, but not too far
To a den to dry in peace
A war of opium do we see
A deadly knife in sheath
A pipe lay, aghast the floor
A sweat secretes, from all our pores
A sainted euphoria, I apprehend
As the smoke ascends
Flesh and body dissapear
The shimmer of silver, so austere
Only the conscience mind remains
In a heavenly state
So once, or twice our senses see
A land of joy, a land of glee
And once again, time after time
The beautiful flower is eating my mind
