Testo Legba Loa - The Wahala Collective
Testo della canzone Legba Loa (The Wahala Collective), tratta dall'album The War Eze
She is bleeding in my arms and there is nothing I can do
The swords went clean through her body — Mon Dieu, there is no fix
For you
She laughed. Blood on her teeth. Blood on my hands
"Legba," she whispered. "You have been a good servant."
"No one can fix me now." She said it like a fact
She called the witnesses, the barons, the sacred — none held back
"I have no heirs. The last Loa passed it on to me
And I pass it now to Papa Legba." Then her eyes could no longer see
Her hand went cold in mine. The blood stopped at her mouth
She was supposed to live forever. How could the flame go out
I held her like I held ma sœur — too late, too still, too gone
She is... she is gone
I never asked for this. I only came to serve
She gave me everything — more than I deserve
But the crown is on the ground and there is no one left to lead
Hélas, the servant kneels — and stands up what they need
"No. I cannot be Loa." My voice broke on the word
I turned to the Mage — her most loyal man I've heard
"You stood beside her for decades. Take the crown. It should be
Yours."
"Fout Tonné! She chose you, Legba — we must honor what she swore."
"I can't do it. Je ne peux pas."
"It is not a choice."
The démon army waits outside. The walls are running red
I wanted to stay broken, but my people would be dead
I never asked for this. I only came to serve
She gave me everything — more than I deserve
But the crown is on the ground and there is no one left to lead
Hélas, the servant kneels — and stands up what they need
They laid her down with incense and the rites of ancient days
The barons and the mages knelt to honor what she gave
I stood before the casket hoping that her eyes would wake
Hélas, they didn't move. Mon Dieu, for all our sakes
"Écoutez... I was lost, and you showed me a way
You gave me what no one else could — you made the lost man stay
Now Rada Mysters is my home, and I will guard it with my last
Just as you did, ma Loa, until your final breath had passed."
"Do you accept?" the Mage raised his hands on high
"I swear on my life and soul — her legacy won't die."
"I accept."
They lifted the crown from her head... and placed it on mine
"All hail Legba Samedi Loa!"
I never asked for this. I only came to serve
She gave me everything — more than I deserve
But the crown is on the ground and there is no one left to lead
Hélas, the servant kneels — and stands up what they need
I walked out to the rampart. Every soldier saw my face
The crown upon my head where hers had been in grace
And then it started — low, like thunder from the ground
"Our Loa! Our Loa!" — the chant became the sound
I am not the leader she was. Mais je suis là. But I am here
We will honor her with a burial — but first, we conquer fear
Every démon at our gates will learn the price of what they've done
Every single one of them will pay. I said every one
If they want to attack us — let them come
For Legba Samedi Loa! For the Bondye
If they want to attack us — let them come
For Legba Samedi Loa! For the Bondye
I told her once... she would not listen
Now I wear her crown
And I will make them listen
Écoutez
