Ayizan
I come before you
In the dark
In the heat
The sun is rising
My hands are tied
And you are waiting
Ayizan
I hear the drums
I hear the drums
I’m walking
Walking
Walking
Walking
And I sink down
Into the dark waters
You cover my face
Hide me from the light
And I feel my breath
Ayizan
I feel the earth move beneath me
I feel the earth move beneath me
And I emerge
Into a new world
Into a new world
Into a new world
Ayizan

I see the world
I see the things that you will never see
I see the world of the Invisibles
I see the world inside the world
I see, I see

Cry for me Erzulie, cry for me
Come into my life and set me free
You are my virgin, you are my bride
Come to me like the ocean tide

And all the things you got turned bad
So now you cry as you come to me
My lover, my bride, my Erzulie

In Grandma’s house
The figures sit silent
Chocolate brown
Dreaming of Guinee
And when they shall return
Grandma teaches me
From the side of Death
Teaches me to understand
Understand the dreams she sends
In Grandma’s house
Everything is silent
Silent like the grave
Silent like the night
Like the night
Like the grave
The clock keeps on ticking
Everything is silent
Like the grave
Like the night
Grandma, Grandma…

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Love those Peter Hook/Simon Gallup like bass lines. Vocals are eerie and wonderful.
