Lady Cobra Songtext
von The Speakeasies' Swing Band

Night has come
It′s harvest moon
Time for me to prepare
I sense the Loa world's been disturbed
Their will is up in the air
Being priestess of the ritual
It′s a serious thing
To avoid the lurking danger
I need a prayer to sing

Sing it loud and sing it clear, oh lord oh now
So the spirits can hear
Sing it loud and sing it clear, oh lord oh now
So the spirits can hear

Time has stopped
And darkness falls
In the ceremony
Stock-still men with haunted eyes
Keep on looking at me


Suddenly a booming voice
Singing comes to my ears
As I turn I see Lord Cobra
His face was pale with fear.

Sing it loud and sing it clear, oh lord oh now
So the spirits can hear
Sing it loud and sing it clear, oh lord oh now
So the spirits can hear

Ghastly shadows
By the fire
Dancing in ecstasy
Eerie sounds
All through the night
Make a strange melody
To appease the world of spirits
I must keep singing and pray

Until the finish of the ritual
Until the break of the day

Sing it loud and sing it clear, oh lord oh now
So the spirits can hear
Sing it loud and sing it clear, oh lord oh now
So the spirits can hear
