Overcast - Diluting Inertia Lyrics

Some historians and anthropologists think
People who claimed to be possesed
May have been drugged
However the drugging was accidental

The theory suggests they may have eaten
Moldy rye grain which contained an ergot
This poisonous substance can cause hallucinations
Similar to those brought on by LSD

During the middle ages
A similar witch hunt broke out in Europe
It is thought that ergot poison
Was to blame then, too

Whatever the cause, whether it was
An adolescent craving for attention
Or the accidental ingestion of a psychadelic substance
The results were terrifying
