Don't do it - Swampy Patois Style (reMix)

[Intro] [Sound of dragging chains and a hollow floorboard kick] [Male Voice - Raspy whisper] Roots deep... Spirit restless... She say no. But de fire say yes. [Verse 1 - hajima] [Stomp-clap rhythm starts. Dissonant piano stabs on the off-beat] De candle flicker blue and de rum is on de floor I see de shadow dancin' 'neath de hinge of de door Mi cyaan stop de ritual, de loa call mi name I’m playin' wid de ashes, I’m flirtin' wid de flame (hajima) (hajima) [Verse 2 - gajima] [Bass gets swampy and heavy] Mi feet dem start to wander toward de edge of de night I’m leavin' dis here world and de comfort of de light Don't try fi hold mi back, don't try fi block de path I’m seekin' out de secrets, I’m facin' down de wrath [Bridge: The Sensory Ban - bojima, deutjima] [Tempo drags. A muted trumpet wails like a ghost] Eye dem wide open, seein' tings mi shouldn't see Whispers in de attic, tellin' lies to mi (deutjima) [Verse 3 - meokjima, jajima] [Rhythm intensifies. Piano gets frantic and dusty] De fruit is lookin' rotten but de juice it taste so sweet I’m starvin' for de power, mi need a taste of meat Mi eyes dem heavy now, but de spirits never rest I’m stayin' in de circle, I’m passin' every test (jajima) [Breakdown: The Macabre Joke - utjima] [Music stops abruptly. Just a slow, rhythmic rattling of bones] Look at de face of de devil... he got a grin just like mine. (utjima) [Outro - itjima] [Full ensemble returns for one final, chaotic swell] Burn de names in de dirt! Wipe de slate! Leave de body behind! (itjima) (itjima) (itjima) [Final Stomp] [Piano note rings out and decays into static] [Male - low growl] Too late.
