Lyrics The Spell of Impisi - John Edmond

Sometimes the lioness leaves her kill 'tis such a mystery
Why does she leave her kill and run from the spell of Impisi
Out in the wilds where the hills are blue
And the mountains meet the sky
A lioness fell in a trap and no one heard her cries
But Impisi the hyena heard her plaintiff plea
Oh great hyena the lioness cried oh won't you set me free
Impisi Impisi Impisi Impsi
The hyena said you must die your kill you never share
You keep each morsel for your king for others you don't care
The lioness said oh I do know in future when I kill
Oh great hyena you may eat and always have your fill
The lioness was then let out and pounced on Impisi
She said I'm going to kill you know and roared with treachery
The hyena said now let us get some other points of view
From the jackal and the old black crow and from the vultures too
Let Impisi die they said Impisi said but wait
The way that this scene happened we must re-create
How did you get into this trap like this the cat declared
The hyena set off the trap and again the cat was snared
The meaning of betrayal now oh I have learned so well
Oh let the old hyena with cunning unsurpassed
Released the lioness to the wilds where she was free at last
The lioness was not set free because it was her will
But so that for hyenas she would provide a kill
And sometimes in the wilds it's known that lioness's fear
A pack of old hyenas whenever they are near
The lioness that leaves her kill it is no mystery
She leaves her kill because she fears the spell of Impisi
