Haki Hak Tutu

Verse 1

Skin drum beating low beneath the moon

Bones they rattle in the painted sand

I carved the sigil when the sky went black

Now the spirits walk the ground I stand

Shadows pull me toward the river mouth

Blood moon burning through the willow crown

Every heartbeat echoes off the canyon wall

Every word I whisper drags me down

Pre-Chorus

Haki Hak Tutu

Call the names that crawl

Haki Hak Tutu

Stars are falling raw

Chorus

Haki Hak Tutu

The dead don't lie tonight

Haki Hak Tutu

I've seen it in the firelight

Haki Hak Tutu

The circle's closing in

Haki Hak Tutu

The chants begin again

Verse 2

Paid the man in silver for a name

Traced the thread back to the crooked house

Every door he opened cost a soul

Every candle gutters like a vow

Rope and ledger find the guilty hand

Knuckles white against the buried key

What they took from me I'll take back twice

What they buried deep will come for me

Pre-Chorus

Haki Hak Tutu

Cracks run through the floor

Haki Hak Tutu

What they fear is more

Chorus

Haki Hak Tutu

The dead don't lie tonight

Haki Hak Tutu

I've seen it in the firelight

Haki Hak Tutu

The circle's closing in

Haki Hak Tutu

The chants begin again

Bridge

Mash the eggshell

Stir the black clay

Nothing's buried

Nothing stays

Cross the river

Cross the line

Everything I owe

Made mine

Drop

Haki Hak Tutu

Haki Hak

Haki Hak Tutu

Chorus

Haki Hak Tutu

The dead don't lie tonight

Haki Hak Tutu

I've seen it in the firelight

Haki Hak Tutu

The circle's closing in

Haki Hak Tutu

The chants begin again
