Monday evening

Evening, the Sun is setting, silence is all you hear

David, getting really sick he is sweating like a pig

The fever's got him now

And sarah's father dear, the morning snack has put him on his back

He should have stayed in bed Oh why didn't he?

The Sun is setting, silence is all you hear

Sarah: Salem, what's going on?

Salem: Let me tell you a story madame, a secret about your land

The reason for all madness

Let me tell you a story madame, the burial ground on your land

Ia a secret voodoo stand

If you ever destroy this sacred place

Legend says that you will die, and never find your rest

I'm telling the truth oh yes I am

If the living can't feed the dead, then the dead will come for you

Yeah

Sarah: You better hold your tongue now salem

Cause I don't believe in ghosts

There is only one thing left to do now

And that is "sending of dead"

The four shadows are meeting again

At the cemetery gates, darkness is a friend

Midnight will soon be here

Everything should be ready by now for "sending of dead"

Place the image of saint expedit

Upside down and around

I hear doctor le croix speaking

"Let the ritual begin"

Almight God, father of mine, come for sarah lafayette

That she may be "disappeared" , forever lost

Saint expedit, you are a saint and I'm a sinner

I send you to find sarah lafayette

Oh, ride me of her head and rid me of her soul

Rid me of all her thoughts, rid me of her memory

For this curse to work, baron samedi, samedi, samedi

Send your blessing, so sarah may be gone

As if he was sent from the sky, baron samedi creeps inside

The doctor's body speaking to salem

Samedi: You must bring me a sacrifice

You must come back before midnight

Kneel before my cross salem is here

He takes a handful of soil from each grave

Of the dead he wants to send into sarah

Now quick quick run back to the house

The soil must lie where sarah sleeps
