Demon Blood

The War Eze · 16

Wings beneath a man's skin. Papa Legba reads the blood: the rebellion was a ruse, and the ones behind it are not human.

About This Track

The blood does not lie. Something worse is coming.

Lyrics

|

Papa Legba sees it all. That is my gift. That is my curse.

But a man walks Rada Mysters' halls who should not breathe our air.

Fair skin. Blond hair. He should not be here.

Oh... and I am not dead. Rada Mysters rises again.

I shout — stop! Wings tear through his shirt.

A démon in the Mysters. Mon Dieu — and someone's going to get hurt.

He swings a blade of burning black. I step through Nowhere — gone.

Navigation. The sight is not my only gift. The darkness gave me more than one.

He lunges. I am air. I reappear behind his back.

I drive my blade beneath the wing — executing my attack.

He falls. He crawls. His blood is warm across the stone.

A dying démon at my feet. I will not leave his secrets alone.

The blood shows me everything. Hélas — the blood does not lie.

Every sin, every secret, every reason why.

Démons fooled Niri — to sow chaos and make us die.

Our ending is revealed. A drop of blood in my eye.

I see what they are hiding. I see what they have done.

Hélas — the man who sees it all fears something bigger has begun.

The rebellion was a ruse — c'était un piège — we will be unmade.

The ones behind it are not human. They are not afraid.

Ahn-kroyahbl.

I kneel beside the body. A drop of blood — I press it to my eye.

A city built from stone. Fires burning through the ground.

A world I've never known — and every démon in it gathering around.

I see a room. A map of Vodun spread across the wall.

They tricked the Niri scouts and fed them plans to make us fall.

Dès le début — destruction of our realm was their aim.

They lit the match. They stoked the flame. They gave the rage a name.

And someone on our side — Un traître - someone opened up the gate.

Another Loa fed them passage. Mon Dieu — and now it is too late.

The blood shows me everything. Hélas — the blood does not lie.

Every sin, every secret, every reason why.

Démons fooled Niri — to sow chaos and make us die.

Our ending is revealed. A drop of blood in my eye.

I see what they are hiding. I see what they have done.

Hélas — the man who sees it all fears something bigger has begun.

The rebellion was a ruse — c'était un piège — we will be unmade.

The ones behind it are not human. They are not afraid.

Ahn-kroyahbl.

But this démon is a scout. A foot soldier. He does not know it all.

I see an armée gathering — hundreds of thousands answering the call.

They are coming for Vodun. They are coming for Niri.

They are coming for me — Mon Dieu, can you see?

La vérité — this blood is proof. The wings, the skin, the blade.

I must bring this to my Loa before the price is paid.

She did not listen when I warned her about the Thunder and his rage.

Fout Tonné — this time the enemy is worse. This time I will not leave the stage.

I warned them once before. The Loa would not hear.

I brought the proof, I brought the maps, I laid them at her feet.

Fout Tonné — they never listen till the thunder's at the gate.

And when they finally understand — c'est trop tard. Always too late.

But this time what is coming is not a man with lightning in his hand.

This time what is coming will swallow every kingdom in the land.

The blood shows me everything. Hélas — the blood does not lie.

Every sin, every secret, every reason why.

Démons fooled Niri — to sow chaos and make us die.

Our ending is revealed. A drop of blood in my eye.

I see what they are hiding. I see what they have done.

Hélas — the man who sees it all knows something bigger has begun.

The rebellion was a ruse — c'était un piège — we will be unmade.

The ones behind it are not human. They are not afraid.

Ahn-kroyahbl.

Ma Loa — I bring you blood. I bring you proof.

A démon's body on your Mysters floor.

She did not listen last time.

She will listen now.

Wings beneath a man's skinand the ones behind it are not human
