If I tell the stars not to drop a tear Sky will never see the dawn again And I came to purify Beast on my right side Father mother brother If I stretch my arms I reach the moon Coming to life, once the coldest dream A frozen ocean now is the demon I feed Searching for my silk With my noise I'll make you deaf The glittering light will make you all blind Skulls have known their defeat Their hands now make my carpet with silk Our wives and our stranglers will give voice to my pride Dance now! It's time for a new war, the leopard said In powder, in smoke the sound of drums erases time inside my mind While I dance and gather greyhounds from the dead Where is my silk? Deception is complete, as my brother cries and then slowly drowns The abysses lie to god Steal! Steal from me, breath from me, steal from me glorious king Salute the sovereign, the west will hail with fear Abekoute will ask for forgiveness then die In front of these eyes The sound of drums erases time inside my mind While I dance and gather greyhounds from the dead Where is my silk Deception is complete, as my brother cries and then slowly drown The abysses lie and hide my pride Steal from me, breath from me Steal from me, glorious king Shine! shine for my eyes! bring my own glory so far Steal from me, breath from me Steal from me, breath from me, stand for your glorious king
