about

This song is a war cry. It is a call to the fire god Vulcan and water goddess Yemoja to reign chaos and provide comfort to the warrior who has been pushed to their last resort.

lyrics

Vulcan,
Father,
Don't let me down don't let me down,
Make it, hotter, let's burn it all down to the ground.

If it's war you want,
War is what you'll get.
You can't take the crown,
From a ram's head.

Vulcan, don't let me down.
Make it hotter, let's burn it all down.

Yemoja,
Our mother,
Don't let me down don't let me down,
Take me , to water,
When every thing is said and done.

If it's war you want,
War is what you'll get.
You can't take the crown,
From a ram's head.

If it's war you want,
War is what you'll get.
You can't take the crown,
From a Aries' head.

Vulcan,
Father,
Don't let me down don't let me down,

Yemoja,
Our mother,
Don't let me down don't let me down,

Make it, hotter,
Let's burn it all down to the ground.
Take me , to water,
When every thing is said and

done.
