Because of Us

They will sacrifice at three junctions
Because of us
They will not allow the herbalist to sleep peacefully at night
Because of us
They have left the church and gone to consult the oracle at the river
Because of us
The witch doctor’s dog barks on a Thursday
Because of us
They will continue to make sacrifices until late at night
Because of us
When we talk, they carry the Bible about
Because of us

Come closer, you resemble a witch
Come closer
Come closer, you resemble a herbalist
The war has summoned us
Keep running, my dear

Come closer, you resemble a witch
Come closer
Come closer, you resemble a herbalist
The war has summoned us
Keep running, my dear
