Lyrics
Aftermath
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The "LOA" house and the old voodoo burial ground
Are still standing in all their glory
The Lafayetes left the hospital and Louisiana
And went to...I don't care
Malone survived
He's a scared old man now
By the way, my name is Salem
You cannot say, that everybody's happy
But you can say, that everybody is now
safe from each other
At least I sought so, until a few days ago
When I heard of some mother
By the name of Sarah Lafayette
Who's newborn baby
Was speaking in the strangest tongue
Backwards
A miracle?
Some expert had uttered the word:
VOODOO
