Tribal Vodoun Lyrics - Singles - Nocturnus

From deep inside the islands 

comes a religious belief of magical fate. 

Necromantic tribes of the secret societies 

Conducting ceremonies of the Vodoun faith 

Revenge in store for enemies they hate 

Soon a one awaiting to arise 

Doomed to the try a malevolent flues 

Carnival of chaos 

Symbolic designs 

carved in the earth to beckon 'LEGBA' 

(Rites of the Petro) 

Reflections of rage and violence 

Thundering drums echo unforgiving 

Tribal chants grow louder 

Dancers travel through the fire 

Deity of fire 'OGU' 

Protects skin from the flames 

Divine horsemen arrive 

mounting the initiation of possession 

Tearing glass / utter pandemonium 

spirits indulge in burning torches 

Singing dancers wake to reality 

Vodoun - cannot be abstracted from the 

day to day life - of the Believer 

All is whole - no separation between material and spiritual 

The Boko concocts the powder with the poisonous 

Datura sprinkled upon the gateway of this victim 

Body racked with terrible convulsions - 

Mucus flowered from the nose and mouth shaking horrible 

The edge of consciousness criteria of Poisson 

Lethargic coma 

Indistinguishable from death 

Comatose 

Mortality arrive / pronounced physically dead 

Halts driven into the coffin buried 

Prematurely 

Mind sleeps / disoriented complete 

Amnesia 

Three days tormented incarnation of Evil 

Baron Samed 

Guardian on the Cemetery 

Preparing the victim of soul for Zombitication 

The fear initiates the victim 

Psychologically vulnerable 

Powder does not secure 

Fate / its the mind 

Baron unleashes cadaver 

A soul trapped in a vessel 

Blood split offering 

Resurrection of zombie body without character 

Aimlessly wandering through time servant to the Bokor 

Le culte Des morts
