Flavoraid '78
You can see the final product in sight
with this elixir you too shall take flight
Soon to a paradise up above
Beyond the flaws of man, full of only love
And as the reverend ushers in the call
You take a sip and all soon fall
Blood foaming in your mouth
The children scream as they too feel
They feel the beckoning of heaven and sensations unreal
“Heaven’s nearly there” the Godman says
You can’t make anything else out in this haze
You curl on the floor
Convulse some more
And find yourself writhing in the sky
Flying ever so high
You’re leaving for Arcadia today
Selling your tomorrow for a cheap ticket
Cus the reverend says it’s better to kick it
than to find yourself detained in the Guyanese thicket
Amen, the gurgled screams die
Veins distributing the poison of venomous lies
Of satanic blood
In the temple of the damned
We feel death
And have our spirituality stain this land
For we’re flying to heaven
On angel wings
imbibing ambrosia of cyanide
while of new frontiers the Reverend sings

Based on the Jonestown Massacre. A great tragedy that could've been avoided. A cautionary tale.
