    Lafayette Afro Rock Band - Darkest Light

    I keep expecting to hear Harvey “Joe” Henderson (Bar-Kays) say “Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude” at the start.

    "

    Standing in the ruins
    of another Black man’s life,
    or flying through the valley
    He’s separating day and night.
    “I am death,” cried the Vulture.
    “For the people of the light.”

    Charon brought his raft
    from the sea that sails on souls,
    And saw the scavenger departing,
    taking warm hearts to the cold.
    He knew the ghetto was the haven
    for the meanest creature ever known.

    In a wilderness of heartbreak
    and a desert of despair,
    Evil’s clarion of justice
    shrieks a cry of naked terror.
    Taking babies from their mamas
    and leaving grief beyond compare.

    So if you see the Vulture coming,
    flying circles in your mind,
    Remember there is no escaping
    for he will follow close behind.
    Only promised me a battle,
    battle for your soul and mine.
