歌词
I am talking to you in front of the fireplace in the main living room of the Castalia foundation
I’m not speaking to you from a room of the 20th century
I’m surrounded by objects and furnishings
Which would be more at home to a person from more ancient centuries or perhaps from oriental countries of the present time
The room is lit by candlelight
There are no chairs or tables colored mattresses cushions
On the walls there are tapestries of faraway events and places
As I look out the windows, I see lawns, fountains, a meditation house shrouded by pine trees
And behind it a meditation garden, this is the home of the Castalia foundation
a center for research on the scientific and religious implications of consciousness expanding drugs
This is a serene and beautiful place
inhabited by serene and serious minded people who dedicating their lives and energies
to expanding their consciousness and harmonizing with the energies inside and outside their bodies
The situation here is not completely serene at the moment
Because this quiet island is under siege for the last few days, the last few weeks, the last few months
This peaceful surrounding has been surrounded by government agents, wiretapper, anxious and angry politician
Why should this be?
The reason for this siege of serenity is because I have gotten myself in trouble
I’m in trouble because I know too much
