Goddess Egungun-oya (Earthly Spirits Speaks Of Carnage)

Only the souls who cannot hear the whispers promised in His name  
Sloth in the survival of Heavenly shame  
My words have been around long before the Caucus mountains stood  
Wisdom is to share as it always will, as it always should  
The truth gives credence to knowledge for eyes who may or may not come to see  
Upon carnage to a world upside down praised without spiritual reprieve  
Sacred gifts to see clearer within an ordained mind  
Find your mission in life, therefore, your confessions will never be found in the ideology of the sublime  
My mission on earth is to wade through the waters and encourage weary souls to look upon their own salvation  
Your mind, your heart, your soul becomes your way of life, denial of its trepidation  
Made in His image, unto life by mortals, his creed, his purpose guided by his divinity footsteps  
Until the slaughter of thy brother in the field, two nations of evil and good unleashed  
Which is now, promised by the water of salvation, and ascend by the Chi after death
