village crimes Lyrics

Let me dare tell you the truth

Of the village

When the sun flirted with us

Night came in shadows

We were sent away by a wind that lost way here

The taste of our iniquities hovered on our tables

Our very important people seriously broke the village pot

That we were eating from

And we couldn't say a word

Last morning

Our father was told the truth of his tongue

They say he through the back of his wife—our mother

We stayed gnashing our sorrows

It was when nakedness of our eyes

Lurked enough at the village square

That the chief boldly slept with the wife of the priest

When he, the priest, went to pray for the chief and the village

The daughter of the chief also fortunately slipped in love with the priest

They made enough love to interrupt the silence of daylight

And the servant of the priest

He also grabbed the twins of the queen mother

In the shrine

Come and see cemented kisses pounding

Could you believe

The concerned neighbor who saw all called it sacrilege

He bought truth to pay the debt of this fraudulent village

But the people

My people

Your people

Our people

They came for him at the neck

And the priest requested for his head

He said he has burdened the land with a curse

What did he do

He questioned the skin color of the priest's teeth

He informed the people of the chief Licking his hands at a gathering near Osu

Today

Our coward elders still go pouring vodka over his grave

I don't blame them

I don't blame anyone

They say

It is to redeem us from the curse

Could you believe

Upon all these

God and his silence dances abroad romantically on our ancestral soil
