The Shaman Clause takes a look into the history of Christmas traditions still seen in modern society with production from Downsyde/SBX Don Optamus.
LYRICS
It's a Merry night and so it's time for me to spit a rhyme
About the real meaning festive story that they leave behind
Cause modern day has flipped this and twisted, never listed
True tale of Christmas and I don't mean Saint Nicholas
No shopping hysteria, the origin is eerier
Traditions from the Komchales and Koryaks in Siberia
A land of rough terrain that's really hard on souls and more cold and geographically is basically more like the North Pole
The tribes located higher-ups, respected individuals
Known for spirit practices and many rituals
At certain times it's typical for noted men arriving Ride into the deep horizon for that potent psylocibin
Titled 'Fly Agaric' sacred fungi vital to the tribe
As tribute to the mushrooms, Shaman dresses up in red and white (Red and white)
Mimmicking it's custom colours, gathering as many as he could into a sack for others
Knowing these are toxic even fatal for a human, unless they were dried out or drank through others urine
Reindeers had a taste too, though they could stomach - take it raw
And so the deers pee could be relieved warm to bring it on
Effectively a stimulated pop like amphetamine or rock, adrenaline that got the deers to thrash and prance alot
These red and white shrooms do get you really high dude
If you saw them prancing in the dark you'd think they fly too
Harvest many mushrooms, pack em in a sack (sack)
Big boots to guide em through the snow to make it back (back)
To get into the Yurt climb and latch upon the rooftop
Make his way down the middle pole like a chimney spot
So toxic, dry it off and make it safe
Put em in a sock and hang it up by the fireplace hmm
Does this sound familiar? The costumes, colours, customs from the Shamans of Siberia!
