| A last look at the field of the dead
|
| The last glance of deceit
|
| Sand whipe the white skin
|
| Now I feel her choking me and bring me back to life
|
| Sertao, no living man shall see me mourn and weep
|
| A distant god says I’m his will, scorching heat of my land
|
| A place for my mind, such a drought for my soul
|
| Life is a dream, I stare at the sea, dreams of Dahomey
|
| I search for the land where snow grows, mother can you hear
|
| Barefoot and blistered white king of the Dahomey
|
| Dahomey, the king of Dahomey
|
| Searching, yearning for something more
|
| Something else than bones and flies
|
| This is my fault
|
| A kingdom kneeling on its chains
|
| A drought for my soul
|
| Your eyes glint as you’re threatening my life
|
| But have you ever seen true death?
|
| In my morbid boundless thirst
|
| You sill stare at the void into my eyes
|
| No life, no dreams, no past, no name
|
| White demon will reign with rage
|
| It’s time for a mute deception
|
| In my land I was a snake
|
| Dahomey, kneel before the ouster rage of Dahomey
|
| If you hide underground
|
| The earth will speak
|
| I command the ants who are no longer dreaming of sand
|
| You’ll see
|
| Earth snakes and stands in awe for I command
|
| Sand whips white skin of demons
|
| I feel her choking me and
|
| Sand whips white skin of demons
|
| And bringing back to life white skinned, sand demons
|
| I feel her choking me and
|
| Sand whips white skin of demons still alive
|
| Dead kings will come to depose you
|
| Then I will go and sleep
|
| So, now
|
| Wall up the doors to the women’s quarter
|
| As they mourn |
