Rose Laurens Africa

In dark deep jungle I hear the wild drum
My heart beats faster knowing my time's come
The voodoo master waiting for nightfall
Draws signs of magic on my white woman skin

Africa, charms me with her power
Takes my soul on the midnight hour
Africa, dancing till my body burns so hot
Crying to the voodoo god - Africa

I am dancing bare foot under a red sun
My sense is high to feel like emotion
Gazel or panther - I hear a lion roar
The voodoo goddess fills me with all her force

Africa, charms me with her power
Takes my soul on the midnight hour
Africa, dancing till my body burns so hot
Crying to the voodoo god - Africa

In tribal dwelling I lie in cool shade
From heaven opened falling the sweet rain
From danger hiding between her sharp claws
A shadow is moving bow to the voodoo law

Africa, charms me with her power
Takes my soul crying to the voodoo god - Africa, Africa

In dark deep jungle I hear the wild drum
My heart beats faster knowing my time's come
The voodoo master waiting for nightfall
The signs of magic sacrifice woman

Africa - Africa
