Malfacteur

My brother sold me out to a powerful man
I worked his fields until blood sprang from my hands
I passed beneath the earth
Crushed down by stones and dirt
My brother sold me out to a powerful man
I was made a beast of burden by the powers in the land
At dead of night the bokor rides to my house
Secret words are uttered and my soul is sucked out
I sicken quick — they bury me that week
As I sink down in my box I hear my wife’s wild shriek
I walk this earth among you
But I am a broken man
I have lost the things that made m
They have taken all I am
Vins Ti Jean
Mon petit malfacteur
Burn the bones
Grind the mortar
Now we must do this work
Burn the bones
Grind the mortar
My brother sold me out to a powerful man
I worked his fields until blood sprang from my hands
I passed beneath the earth
Crushed down by stones and dirt
My brother sold me out to a powerful man
I was made a beast of burden by the powers in the land
