Voodou Sorceress
03:33
|
|||
|
A song came to me in a dream on repeat
I am possessed by god so I dance to the beat
Feed the drum while the Iwa eat
We sacrifice to repeatedly replete
Get me a goddamn motherfucking priest
The hex upon me needs to be released
Everything happens for a reason and that's a spirit too
I have the gift of the eyes; I see what's inside you
Second sight, my Evil Eye sees what you do
I'll see to your evil spirit, the with sorcery of Voodou
Get me a goddamn motherfucking priest
The hex upon me needs to be released
This is no superstition girl, best believe
Black Magic potion is what you shall receive
Drunken Lord of Death watched me retrieve
I trapped your soul in a jar and it can never leave

Hex
03:10
|
|||
|
Live evil, live evil, be gone and do not do
For god so loved the world, and she shall love you too
Was that a cat I saw, the curse, its cue
But there's no charm to disarm for you
I hid it where they can't find it with their Evil Eye
I threw the witch bottle in the fire in hopes she would die
The room, the room blackened and I became sick
I felt my voodoo doll get a prick
The broken clock began to tick
There's a curse on me that I can't kick
I hid it where they can't find it with their Evil Eye
I threw the witch bottle in the fire in hopes she would die

Contagious
02:52
|
|||
|
The incantation revealed the sickness was real
The Medicine Man cut me open to heal
A lock of hair was part of the deal
There is another life to me, I feel
The magic was contagious to the touch
I'm controlled by a piece of me you can clutch
The juju of bad luck is what I blame
They burned my effigy and I felt the flame
The Sorcerer had been given my name
I gave her a part of me and she said shame
The magic was contagious to the touch
I'm controlled by a piece of me you can clutch

Tapu
03:02
|
|||
|
Weaponize the woman who reigns abroad
Mana from the violence of the war god
The energy of her spirit awed
An ordinary touch is outlawed
A step in her shadow breaches tapu
The Warrior Queen commands death upon you
I left my body in a dream and it all came to light
First among equals, first to lead the fight
Fuck her at your rank and they'll kill you outright
She's no one's business but I have her for tonight

Smoky Mountains
02:22
|
|||
|
Count your days, 'cause you make three
Your picture fell off the wall beside me
You sneezed and the demon went free
Oh no no no; no blessed be
Take care child, now, take care
There's a pig for every boat out there
I said to you in your blood live
But the bleeding won't stop for a shiv
So I tried but I'm out of fucks to give
I tried but I'm out of fucks to give
Take care child, now, take care
There's a pig for every boat out there

Quartz
02:35
|
|||
|
Amethyst is your placebo eye
My body is a grid made up of nine
Color me, tickle me pink sometime
My energy is black as cutting a tie
Put it in the moonlight and let it relive
I too am faded with no love to give
She buried the rose quartz in the garden, I see
She tried to hide it far away from me
In her overalls smiling, dirt on each knee
She blinded the sun and the blonde went free
Put it in the moonlight and let it relive
I too am faded with no love to give

Red Letter
03:36
|
|||
|
Beaten with a club in a fight I didn't look for
Four of a club, not of a kind anymore
Followed by a demon of bad luck that I ignore
Seeing red again, the view from the ninth floor
Red letter day, I read my name like a final score
A conductor without a score, a revolver in the drawer
My first dream this year is that it would stop
There's life I desperately need to swap
I'm type O but not yours for a drop
I get off at the floor with the rooftop
Whistle while you work, well I'm in your home
I'm reclaiming what you wouldn't condone
I cried at the words you set in stone
The black cat ran away and I was left alone
The curse on me has been full-blown
A four-lettered word for each homophone
My first dream this year is that it would stop
There's life I desperately need to swap
I'm type O but not yours for a drop
I get off at the floor with the rooftop

Redheaded
02:34
|
|||
|
I saw her, I saw her this morning and it cursed my day
Hair as red, hair as red as a wildfire, take me away
I took her home and she decided to stay
And for that I knew I would pay
I won't board the ship anymore, no chance
I've been itching for a fight, not another dance
One more drink to a doomed romance
Falling in love was happenstance
Don't salute, don't salute the magpie as it flies right by
The wailing, the wailing woman was too sad to cry
I'm a masochist and bad luck can't justify
But now there's an effect, but no cause to explain why
I won't board the ship anymore, no chance
I've been itching for a fight, not another dance
One more drink to a doomed romance
Falling in love was happenstance

Heartless
03:30
|
|||
|
My, if it isn't her, I'm seeing things again
My house swarmed with ants after they broke in
I wondered where the sun had been
Enslaved, let the reign of chaos begin
Black Grass Flower with a look that can kill
Eat your heart out 'cause you know she will
Throw a bundle of rods; I think I'm ill
She threw me in front of venom in a night that was still
Smoking mirror, obsidian drenched in blood
We are anew, the People of the Sun
The heart of the matter is that we've one
Year fifty-two, a fire for everyone
Black Grass Flower with a look that can kill
Eat your heart out 'cause you know she will
Throw a bundle of rods; I think I'm ill
She threw me in front of venom in a night that was still

The Fool
02:36
|
|||
|
Read my Hamsa hand, cobalt blue
Helene the psychic who sees right through
The crystal ball hadn't a clue
I don't know what I'm going to do
Throw the bones and I'll beat the drum
To the tune of no need for a hired gun
The smoke choked, I spoke, they always shun
No hope; I'll bring the boat down with everyone
High Priestess with the crown and a grin
I'm The Fool, the Jack that can't win
The Grim Reaper left 'cause he'd already been
The Magician says, now try again
I climbed the Tower all the way to the top
I watched my kerosene lantern drop
I am the Madwoman but in my story a prop
They beat me but when I rise they'll top

Black Umbrella
03:06
|
|||
|
The sky wasn't indigo it was black too soon
The day went by in the bathtub at noon
I wanted grey but I got a monsoon
The weather pane hit the sunroom
It rained in my house and my wildflowers sprouted
I opened up my umbrella and pouted
I need you to feel bad for me today
I need a cigarette not a lecture, okay
In a yellow raincoat with a fuming ash tray
I broke the mirror 'cause I was in the way
It rained in my house and my wildflowers sprouted
I opened up my umbrella and pouted

Dayan
04:04
|
|||
|
Oh burn me; I breathe it in
Drink the blood cleansing sin
Feast on the souls on all men
Yes I did it and I'll do it again
What do you call the woman in the flame
Queen of Kerosene who'll reign
The widow throws herself in the fire
She dies in her husband's funeral pyre
Must ashes to ashes inspire
It's the Arsonist that I admire
What do you call the woman in the flame
Queen of Kerosene who'll reign

Lemon Tree
02:31
|
|||
|
I stole the lemon tree 'cause you were too sour
Charge me officer but I charge by the hour
Your land was barren so I sent you a flour
And sang of my vengeance in the shower
I'd like to return the knife in my back
My sight is red but my heart is black
Behold she who shall return to power
Your trip there was short and now it's zero hour
I have icing on my cake but yours had no flour
So I throw salt on you now because it's you I'll devour
I'd like to return the knife in my back
My sight is red but my heart is black

Cheshm Shur
02:21
|

|
May jealous eyes explode
Salty lids forebode
Don't take your eye off the road
Mind your mind's eye or overload
Don't plant the seeds; burn them all
The smoke choked and I took the fall
No chance, said the writing on the wall
This is no coincidence, no close call
May jealous eyes be blind
What do I have to come to your mind
I'm lost but please don't find
It's not never, it's never mind
Don't plant the seeds; burn them all
The smoke choked and I took the fall
No chance, said the writing on the wall
This is no coincidence, no close call
