Sending Of Dead Lyrics

    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 this madness
    Let me tell you a story madame, the burial ground on your land
    Is 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 l am
    Lf the living can't feed the dead, then the dead will come for you
    Yeah

    Sarah, 'you better hold your tongue now salem
    'cause l 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"

    Solo: andy

    Place the image of saint expedit
    Upside down and around
    I hear doctor le croix speaking "let the ritual begin"

    "almighty 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
    L send you to find...sarah lafayette
    Oh, rid 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"

    Solo: herb

    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 there

    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
