lyrics

We saw them come,
Watch them go
The sacred hearts,
the sands of the east and the chosen souls.
Once Sango, now no more.
Found new altars down which
all a brothers blood can Flow

So if anybody asks we say no.
This delirium’s everywhere we go
We built across the bridge home
Deny those who were once known
So when they speak of Orunmila
We say no.

Though we dance as we once danced,
We no more trouble the truth or the spirit
within the trance
Soon Oshun’s, a dusty rune
where every griot’s tale dries up
like a Sahara dune

So if anybody asks we say no
This delirium’s everywhere we go
We built across the bridge home
Deny those who were once known
So when they speak of Orunmila
We say no.
