Lyrics:

The sun is shining in the night

Zombies walking in the broad day light

Zombie he done lost his soul

Zombie he don't ever get old

Lord of darkness king of light

Come, come here on this stormy night

There is no star in the sky

I see fire in the dead man's eye

Touch me, touch me, fix my hand

Let me see what's in the sand

Man is boy, and boy is man

There ain't no boss there ain't no man

I'll spit my spit in your spit

Then let seven snakes come up from the pit

I'll stand under this mango tree

till you come, come to me

A spider crawled across my face

Spreading its web on the human race

Jingo, Jingo he ain't dead

He can see from the back of his head

They tied ten onions 'round my naval string

Then they cut it and they baked it and made it into a ring

Come on Shango, Satan come to me

Let me speak what I can't see

Chorus

Mama Loi, Papa Loi

I see fire in the dead man's eye

Geil. Leider ist EXUMA den Jüngeren nicht mehr bekannt. Dabei ist die Musik immer noch saugut

Haha, the zombie voices being made sound kind of like a Looney Tunes character.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe Loi (or Loa) are somewhere between holy spirits (of saints), ghosts, gods and spirits of the ancestors. sometimes all at the same time.
