The Opium Farmer
Charlus

He lived in a cottage close to the sea

He raised his family on profits from the poppies perfumed

On the mountain beyond


Every day he awoke with the dawn

He set to the fields,

blood on his hands

and the stones,

his Fathers bore-


My light, my love, my only Son

Just give me your life


Then one night by candlelight

He kissed the Koran

Then his wife

and made for the road

to Palestine-


He met the people he needed to meet

There were cells in Hamburg

Berlin

Belize


If He'll fly

the friendly skies

Glory is not


For Free

Take them by surprise


Opium

gonna get real high

Opium

Cut the flower with the knife

Mohamed never felt so good


Catch a bus in Jerusalem

Gonna strap that shit around his waist

Gonna buy his way into martyrdom

Yeah martyrdom

Yeah martyrdom

Yeah martyrdom


My light, my love, my only son

Glory is not for free


Your life for mine


Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
