Where Voodoo Sleeps

Seven days from Halloween in the year of '91 I met a girl whose witchy ways caught me with her touch We rode the nights beyond the fetters of our chains To a land upon the coast where magic burns like flames New Orleans bound That's where we can be found Among the ghosts and the graves and the voodoo queens She comes to me in a fever dream Riding southern winds for eternity In the land where voodoo sleeps In the land where voodoo sleeps Revelry upon the streets where faces paint the night We tipped the drinks and laughed the laugh until the morning light Then to the shadows we returned within our tryst As magic swells an ageless spell upon our haunted kiss We were bathed in the moonlight fires where rituals are sung We were bound in the crimson flames where lovers melt as one Feeling so alive inside the heat of our embrace On the sultry midnight coast the passion comes in waves By the lantern light Autumn has fallen, spirits are callin The harvest closing in Sinister faces, skeletal traces A chill is in the air Whoa ohh ohhh Haunted places, evil embraces Devils drawing near The fading twilight, the rise of moonlight All hallows eve is here Whoa ohh ohhh It's the season of the witch The dawning of the dead All hallow's eve Darkest of nights Shadows come to life In the lantern light Rebirth in my soul Let's ride tonight By the lantern light Walking corpses, unholy forces Hide behind a mask Ghostly voices, hoofbeats of horses Let the night begin Whoa ohh ohhh
