about

When I was living in Germany I often walked the streets imaging what it would be like if these people could try something like Ayahuasca! They were progressive in so many ways but there also seemed to be a pervasive emptiness from the modern world that I recognized in the states as well. Maybe it was a reflection, I don’t know, but I’m sure Indigenous experiences could help provide a lot of healing. The song talks about the consciousness of this plant finding it’s way to the northern hemisphere. Like it’s brother Iboga from Africa, both Europeans and Americans have been more recently exposed to the deep healing properties of these medicines at an incredible rate. I also convey aspects of the experience that relate to the tenor of the song for to relate all aspects would be impossible. The loss of your “stance”, being in your head and getting stuck there, rising form the ashes of your formal self, these are all parts of the Ayahuasca experience that can help a person be guided through. That being said it is not an experience to do recreationally. It deserves respect and is best done with the guidance of an experienced facilitator in a safe and private setting…

lyrics

Lyrics & Music by John Zay

I know a Lady, she works undercover
has a bigger plan
she's been sneaking up north to heal our lands

just when you think you've got nothing to lose
she'll leave you a little clue

She likes to dance, she's really a lover
Sacred Vine of the Dead
She's like a chance that you want to discover - again…….
when your lost in your head

She soaks you up, she's biting your essence
Ayahuasca dance
You'll wake up with your posture but lose your stance

Before you choke on the ashes of pain
let the phoenix rise from her flames

She likes to dance, she's really a lover
Sacred Vine of the Dead
She's like a chance that you want to discover - again…….
when your lost in your head

so lost, so lost, so lost again...
Round & Round….it's all in your head
Round & Round….Ayahuasca Dance

Wake up
She's like a dream taken to the extreme….
She cradles you beginning to the end….
She's like a dream taken to the extreme….
