One of the absolute stand out addition to the YB! family from the past few months. Played a dumbfounding set for us in late October, if we didn't love them enough prior to that, our emotions ran wild following. Flaming Cymbals, human pyramids and body paint made it more than special. Loa's Kingdom is an unmitigated, unadulterated, galvanized banger
lyrics
It's only the highest of you
The rapture quakes and moves
Swimming in your pitiful
Awakening sleeping fools
Eyes roll back as one
Your third eye meets the sun
Eternal in its cosmic flow
Shudder when it commenders
The only way you make it through
Legba has to approve you
Standing there crooked and bent
Waiting for your recompense
Reach out
Ebb flow
Reach for the highest freedom
Push out
Let Go
Enter the Loa's Kingdom
The only way you make it through
Legba has you approved
Wallow in your pitiful
Waiting for the sleeping fools
Eyes roll back as one
Third eye greets the sun
Follow as he guides the way
Fall to you knees and pray
Reach out
Ebb flow
Summon the highest freedom
Push out
Let Go
Enter the Loa's Kingdom
In a quiver of delight
You might find that you've fallen to the floor
When the moon turns out the light
You might find that you live forever more
In a quiver of delight
You might find that you've opened up a door
Shifting through eternal light
You might find that you'll live forever more
Reach out
Ebb flow
Summon the highest freedom
Push out
Let Go
Enter the Loa's Kingdom
