Baal
by Exuma

Baël, Baël, Baël, oh Baël
Baël will cause
Your downfall
You will fall down
In your hole
Then you'll find
You'll find
You've lost your soul

You cursed the moon
And you fought
I saw you fighting the sun
Your hand is withered
And your life
Your life is done

In the manger, oh
In the manger
In the manger
There is
Big danger

You have crucified
Your saintly king
Now, now, now
You don't have
You don't have anything

Baël, Baël
Oh Baël, Baël, Baël
Baël will cause
Your downfall

You've born your babies
Oh they eat your flesh
They said Baël put your souls
Your souls at rest

Your big search
Your big search
Big search for gold
Made you kill your young
Now your blood
Your blood runs cold

From life
To your death
You've lived without a son
You were shooting everybody, everybody
With a paper money gun

Money, money, money, money
Money has been your Baël
Money's been your Baël
Now for eternity
Oh your soul
Your soul's in jail, jail, jail

Baël, Baël
Baël, oh Baël
Baël will cause
Your, your downfall

Baël, Baël
Oh Baël, ohh Baël
Baël will cause
Your, your downfall

Oh Baël will cause
Your, your downfall

Baël, Baël will cause
Your downfall

Baël, Baël, Baël
Baël, Baël, Baël
Baël
Baël

Baël will cause
Your downfall

Exuma, born Macfarlane Gregory Anthony Mackey (February 18, 1942; Cat Island, Bahamas – January 25, 1997; Nassau, Bahamas) was known for his almost unclassifiable music.

He recorded many albums, starting with Exuma, The Obeah Man in 1970 and ending with Rude Boy in 1986.

His songs invoke influences from calypso, junkanoo, reggae, African and folk music with his lyrics dealing heavily with Obeah, a sorcerous Caribbean folk religion resembling African voudou. He toured with a backing band of six people, known as The Junk Band.
