Boom` Boom` Boom`
The stage door was open, they couldn’t resist
From inside the beat of drums calling
Boom` boom` boom`
ta ta doom,
ta` doom` doom` dooooom!
And through the entrance they quietly snuck
Through maddened inky, voltaic verve pulsating air
Fiendishly alive beating, repeating its throbbing
Boom` boom` boom` ta dooooom!
Onto a stage smokey with film of ebony piceous
Where Magnum Opus stood in Ahriman’s being
His tattooed arms reaching toward the heavens
They hid, this adventurous dual, behind a large stage prop
Not noticing its Mephilesic eyes searing through them
Or its eight arms pulsing, twinging with the drums
“Puuu-waaaaash-sssssssssss boom` boom` hiss
Boom` doom` doom` ta` dooooom!
Their eyes only on the witch doctor as he called
Oh Gregal you, who lives and blows from Mazaal
Hijikisan who rules the Great Seas
Cholerihib fire of the ages
And Shalrth God of the deep
I’ve been calling your names
Come rulers of the elements to this scarification
Boom` boom` boom`
ta ta doom,
ta` doom` doom` dooooom!
The drums echoed all round the room
From all sides came zombies in stage make-up
Their bodies adorned with Tribal African body art
Body painting and art tattoos of fierce power
Dancing skeletons bent on voodoo hoodoo
Gyrating, prostrating uncontrollable urges
Their jungle jitters a ritual dance
To the constant beat
Boom` boom` boom` ta dooooom!
The conjuring ceremonial dance evolves
While the film of smoke dance evil flows round
The Witch Doctor is firm in his intent
Calling out “The body I occupy is my hidden Bolero
From the deepest depths of my spirit
I seek the arms of the elements to accept our offering
“Puuu-waaaaash-sssssssssss boom` boom` hiss
boom` doom` doom` ta` dooooom!
Intensity building
“Brother this guy is high to the sky”
Let’s scram before they know we are here”
Too late, they found themselves bound by eight
Pulsing, twinging arms and laid on an altar of stone
Zulu warriors rung round dancing
The dance of the night of the living dead
In step with the drums
Boom` boom` boom`
ta ta doom,
ta` doom` doom` dooooom!
Magnum Opus smiled a sneering welcome to the two
And raised his arms once more
Oh Gregal you, who lives and blows from Mazaal
Hijikisan who rules the Great Seas
Cholerihib fire of the ages
And Shalrth God of the deep
Come rulers of the elements to this scarification
Accept now our sacrifices
The drums thundered
Boom` boom` boom` ta dooooom!
Green tentacles of smoke driven fire
And wave upon wave of hiiki weed filled the air
The elements dove and beat a rapid tattoo
Tearing the hapless duos clothing to shreds
Leaving them bound by the hiiki threads
And the beating increased
“Puuu-waaaaash-sssssssssss boom` boom` hiss
boom` doom` doom` ta` dooooom!
The satanic dancers circled closer and closer
The elements pushing their fierce powers
As the green tentacles of smoke heated the altar
The heat intense, searing, roasting the duo
Now sweating with fear for their lives
And those damn drums continued
Boom` boom` boom`
ta ta doom,
ta` doom` doom` dooooom!
The audience rose to their feet
Bravo, Bravo they cried
Their clapping in unison to the drum beats
Boom` boom` boom` ta dooooom!
As the curtain dropped.
