They were captured, off the ivory coast
Shoved on ships, by their white devil hosts
Chained together, shipped across the seas
Those that survived, were rewarded with slavery
Whipped and starved, far from their homes
Treated like beasts, but they were not alone
They had their faith
And it was strong
Legba heard their pleas
To right all their wrongs
Tonight I'm gonna let the Loa ride
Tonight I'm gonna let the spirits inside
Tonight I'm gonna feel them move through me
Tonight I'm gonna crown Baron Samedi
In the Bayous, hear the rhythm of the drums
Spilt blood, mixed with dark spiced rum
Carved bones and fetishes, adorn the alter space
A copse of dead trees, mark the sacred place
Coffin nails, and gravedigger spades
Ensure, that the pacts that were made
They used the saints
To fool their masters
With the Ghede's Help
Gonna punish those aweful bastards
Tonight I'm gonna let the Loa ride
Tonight I'm gonna let the spirits inside
Tonight I'm gonna feel them move through me
Tonight I'm gonna crown Baron Samedi
A new millenium, but the gods are still here
Seeking vessels, so they can re-appear
Top hat and tails, a properly dressed offering
Willing to be ridden, for the gifts the dead bring
The Veve cast, the ritual has begun
So let’s, have a little fun
At the Cemetary
The party begins
Drinkin', Fuckin' and Laughin'
Make the dead live again
Tonight I'm gonna let the Loa ride
Tonight I'm gonna let the spirits inside
Tonight I'm gonna feel them move through me
Tonight I'm gonna crown Baron Samedi
