"Strangeness at its best"

Usually Voodoo brings to mind acts of witchcraft and wisecrack spells, but to me it instigates a feeling of escape.

Escape from a life that is around you, to another where you create all that you see, feel, emote and do. Its a world where brooms are used for purposes other than sweeping, spiders have great 'healing powers', evil gets utmost respect and you would drink anything which is fuming, yet not hot.

A fantasy for the wretched. A world for the deprived. An answer to revenge. In all, escape from the truth. Escape from worldly worries and pain. Escape from trust.

A world where everything is wrong
Is the one that seems to make things right,
Sticking pins into an dummy
Speaking to crystal balls bright.
A cave, an ambience raw
Where cynical feelings come free,
You can curse everyone
And not carry a guilt on thee.
Get away from the confusion
Blame it all on on fate,
To feel better about yourself
All you need to do is hate.
Chants unintelligible
There is no correct chord,
Where a coward kills with a kiss
Whilst a lover uses a sword.

It's a place I go when I need to breathe amongst all the commotion around.

I could be a evil. But I live right.
