Chaos Bleak - Santeria

Santeria

v1
From the market place when men are sold
To the fields where men are worked
Under a hot sun,
The threat of the whip
Far away from the home we knew
Nature is our identity
When we speak, we speak to ourselves
And the spirits came with us

Chorus:
Hail Mary, full of grace
The lord is with thee, they said
Oricha is the way
Trances, spirit drums
The seat of kings and queens
Triumph thou enslaved!

v2
The old creed and the western meet
In secret, where no one sees
Make a choice from the pantheon
Invite them in, be not afraid
Cast the cowrie shells
At the altar make sacrifice
Then move on again




v3
From the market place where stock is sold
To the places where men work
Under a hot sun, for minimum wage
Here we are, the home we chose
We retain our identity
When we speak, we speak to all men
And the saints who dwell with us
