OGUN
He came to this place
They’d forgotten all the rules
They didn’t greet strangers
Didn’t greet even themselves
They’d forgotten his face
Ogun god of iron and war
He didn’t get a drink
There was nothing fit to drink
Nothing decent to drink
They’d forgotten his face
Ogun
'Ogun onire oko mi'
When a god feels disgraced
By his own people
He’ll have something in store
God of iron and war
His shock his grief
For what he’d done
He knew it would follow
Before he’d even begun
He didn’t discriminate
Men women and children
All treated the same
They were all to blame
'Ogun onire oko mi'

COOKING
She’s cooking, cooking something, something against me
Protect me from her rage
I look at where I live; what it says about me
She turns me against me

Images of War
Keep forgetting that it’s peacetime
Images of war always on my mind
Violent strangers closing off our streets
They’re possessed by some demon we’ve offended
And they pick up you old man amongst those they blame
I’m in the audience
Only in the audience
Always in the audience
I know great books and films
Now the testing days are here
They didn’t prepare me for this kind of fear
They’re gonna desecrate all we hold dear
They drag a young boy onto the stage
Make him smash the old man in the face
With iron bars
Breaking down his dignity
Break apart his dignity
Breaking up his dignity
And we’re not allowed to leave this place
We’re gonna pay the biggest price
For our disgrace
Violent strangers are here to stay
Recruit gangs of women and men
From those who think they’ve got nothing to defend
Make ‘em think and speak the same
As the Demon
And they teach them whose to blame
Better find somewhere to run to now
Before someone mentions my name

Judgement Day
Took my little daughter upon my knee
To tell her all about the way they treated me
Had to fold my arms slowly walk away
Thinking in my mind trouble gonna come to you someday
Rollin’ and a-tumblin’ cryin’ all night long
Thinking all about those who done me wrong
Early in the morning came a knockin’ at my door
I said “hello Satan, I believe it’s time to go”
Me and the Devil walking side by side
Me and that old Evil Spirit looking for a bus to ride
Cos I took possession over Judgement Day
And I’m taking away the right of you to pray

Voices
What are these voices? What are these voices? Talking to me
Strangers’ voices strangers’ voices talking to me
“TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED” they’re talking to me
And the smell of my fear will let all the witches know that I’m here
Alone and frightened and their familiars with the faces of children
Will be looking at me
Whispering voices outside my walls talking to me
What are these voices? Talking to me
Got to get to the root of this terror stalking me
Strangers’ voices talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me talking to me
