BLOOD & EMBERS

[Verse 1] Your shadow trembles in the low-lit haze… I taste your pulse from a world away Barefoot, ash clings to my skin like dust I move toward you slow, carved by lust Heat rolls off me like a gathering storm You tense, then sway, pulled into my form Your heartbeat falters as I draw near I see the truth you’re trying to hide ....your fear [Verse 2] The drums grow heavy like a heartbeat’s cry I whisper curses that slip and fly Passion in my voice, a deep low moan A rumble carried from marrow and bone Touch my fire ... feel it claim your soul You chase salvation, I take control Follow my rhythm through smoke and glow Tonight, love… you won’t say no [Pre-Chorus 1] Don’t run… You’re already caught Your breath... It betrays your thoughts This night... It opens for me Your body… It begs to be free [Chorus 1] Rise, rise ... feel the fire climbing Rise, rise ... hear the shadows chiming Rise, rise ... let your heartbeat tighten Fall, fall ... let the hunger bite in Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… Sing la-la-la-la-la… I’m the Voodoo in your blood Dragging you through smoke and mud [Verse 3] Sweat breaks slow on your trembling skin Your sins taste sharp when I draw them in You try to fight but the pull is deep A curse like this is a promise I keep I come from places the daylight fears A land of storms and forgotten tears You kneel in the dirt where the wicked thrive You’re hollowed out now… but still alive [Verse 4] Hear my chant bending through the air It twists like roots in a secret snare Kreyòl words burn hot on my tongue “Vini lakay mwen… kote nwan sa fèt jenn…” Your spine arches... The world grows red You enter the doorway Inside my head [Pre-Chorus 2] Give in… To the pull I weave Breathe slow… Let the spirits feed Your fate... It unravels clean Tonight.... You kneel to the queen [Chorus 2] Rise, rise ... feel the fire climbing Rise, rise ... hear the shadows chiming Rise, rise ... nothing here can save you Fall, fall ... to the curse that made you Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… Sing la-la-la-la-la… I’m the Voodoo in your blood Dragging you through smoke and mud [Bridge] Drip… drop… Heartbeat stops... “Rete avè m’… pa janm sove…” Heat… shock… Bodies lock... “Nan lanmò dous, mwen ka leve…” You taste the earth I taste your breath We dance on the edge Of hunger and death [Pre-Chorus 3] One touch... The room grows hot Your soul... It twists in the knot No fear… Just give it all Tonight... You’re mine to fall [Chorus 3] Rise, rise ... feel the fire climbing Rise, rise ... shadows close behind it Rise, rise ... your name on my altar Fall, fall ... harder, harder Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… Sing la-la-la-la-la… I’m the Voodoo in your blood Dragging you through smoke and mud
