The old shaman's got three hands,
Feathered wing springs from his back.
A wax candle flares up
Just from light breeze of his breath.
And sometimes he doesn't know,
Can't remember who he is,
When his sick wide-open soul
Overstrains itself and sings.
The old shaman's got three hands.
World all over's like dark hall.
On the shaky golden palms
Eyes are painted with blue spall.
He sees first pink colored rays
Of the dawn before sunrise,
Yet he seemed to be asleep,
Knowing nil about the skies.
The old shaman's got three hands,
Garden's lit by ruby rays,
From his breath it starts to flare,
Starts to flare up, starts to flare up,
Starts to flare up...
Candle starts to flare up...
Candle starts to flare up...
The old shaman's got...
The old shaman's got...
The old shaman's got...
