Made their way to the promised land. Golden shores
Just escaped the voodoo queen and their lore
Said I'd never forgive you but you keep hammering each long nail
Tell my mama a grown man is better than child's tales
And I say, I don't believe that it's true
That my bridges have been burned, woah
A modern man won't be free long as old ones keep their word, woah
And now my life is for naught, but the world still is turning
The curse wants blood
Whisper in my ear, "Honey please, I could break you," (break you, oh)
This vengeful soul
Is never to be sated or forgotten. So now I'll take you
I'll lock you in my chest,
Lose the key. I would beg you. (beg you, oh)
It knows the pain. It's been tormenting me far too long, so go
Old devil you know. Hex. X. O. Old devil you know. Hex. X. O.
Warlock queen, she placed a curse, pledged to die
They came to a land where the magic closed one red eye
But my son, now she found you, and boy it is too late. What I'm told
She will follow you until your body's gone and wed your soul
And I say, I don't believe that it's true
That my bridges have been burned, woah
A modern man won't be free long as old ones keep their word, woah
And now my life is for naught, but the world still is turning
The curse wants blood
Whisper in my ear, "Honey please, I could break you," (break you, oh)
This vengeful soul
Is never to be sated or forgotten. So now I'll take you
I'll lock you in my chest,
Lose the key. I would beg you. (beg you, oh)
It knows the pain. It's been tormenting me far too long, so go
This old soul, she says, boy, I've been round and I can say that
You don't need to be paying for their deeds, but now I'm staying
Life was cruel, now in death all is clear to this old phantasm
Who says haunting has to be so bad?
This old soul, she says boy, I've been round and I can say that
You don't need to be paying
Whisper in my ear, "Honey please, I could break you," (break you, oh)
This vengeful soul
Is never to be sated or forgotten. So now I'll take you
I'll lock you in my chest,
Lose the key. I would beg you. (beg you, oh)
It knows the pain. It's been tormenting me far too long, so go
