Voodoo Doll

Waters are dark
Waters are deep
As deep as the glowering sky
The shimmering sheen
Is not what it seems
The stars have come here to die

Bring me a soul to make a hole
A skin for dancing in
Cut me a rope from toe to lobe
And we'll hear the spirits sing

We're men with no name
Taken in chains
And fed to the great white whale
Swallowed up whole
Body and soul
And disgorged where the white ships sail

Bring me a soul to make a hole
A skin for dancing in
Cut me a rope from toe to lobe
And we'll hear the spirits sing

Dumballah knows
Dumballah sees
Dumballah hears our cry
We've come from the sun
To a sorrowful place
Where the stars are cast out of the sky

Bring me a soul to make a hole
A skin for dancing in
Cut me a rope from toe to lobe
And we'll hear the spirits sing

White is the wax
Keen is the blade
Blue is the softening flame
Walk at my will
Speak when I say
Come when I call your name

Bring me a soul to make a hole
A skin for dancing in
Cut me a rope from toe to lobe
And we'll hear the spirits sing
