Love me like a voodoo hex, drive the pin through my chest
Ride me till the spirit breaks and put my soul to the test
Bind me to the altar, let the black blood run
We were damned together before the world saw the sun
Oh, curse me till I choke on the venom and the sex
There ain't no salvation when you love me like a hex.
Midnight rising, black feathers on the floor
I’ve walked through your graveyard a million fucking times before
You’re sitting in the smoke with your raven-colored hair
Pulling out my nerves by the roots just to see if I care
Smell of graveyard dirt and cheap Louisiana rum
We’ve been burning in this swamp since the first kingdom succumbed
You got my pulse on a string, you got my name in a jar
Dragging me down to where the true monsters are.
Love me like a voodoo hex, drive the pin through my chest
Ride me till the spirit breaks and put my soul to the test
Bind me to the altar, let the black blood run
We were damned together before the world saw the sun
Oh, curse me till I choke on the venom and the sex
There ain't no salvation when you love me like a hex.
Raven locks draped across my naked throat
You’re stitching up my chest like a tattered leather coat
Whispering the patois while the floorboards shake
You bite down hard just to see how much I take
A generational rot, a soul-deep disease
Creeping through the mud where the shadows are falling
You wrap your dark hair around my neck like a noose
Every time you cast the spell, I swallow the juice.
Love me like a voodoo hex, drive the pin through my chest
Ride me till the spirit breaks and put my soul to the test
Bind me to the altar, let the black blood run
We were damned together before the world saw the sun
Oh, curse me till I choke on the venom and the sex
There ain't no salvation when you love me like a hex.
Feel the drums pounding straight through the meat of my spine
Your black hair is tangled with this eternity of mine
You carve the vévé in my flesh with a rusty blade
Look at the mess that our eternal hunger made
Let the loa descend, let the fever spike high
We’re too fucking toxic for the light of the sky
Suck the marrow from the bone, grind the teeth to the dust
A violent, possessive, immortalized lust.
Love me like a voodoo hex, drive the pin through my chest
Ride me till the spirit breaks and put my soul to the test
Bind me to the altar, let the black blood run
We were damned together before the world saw the sun
Oh, curse me till I choke on the venom and the sex
There ain't no salvation when you love me like a hex.
Raven-haired ruin.
Take the vessel again.
Tie the knot in the dark.
Let the spirits descend.
Forever.
