Marie Laveau Lyrics
Dear Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau
I’m on my knees, I’m beggin’ you
Awake the fallen one in me
Thy power above all I hail
The white rom on your grave I brought
Together with cigars and gold
I’ll find you at the river’s end
As the followers enter your realm
Sing, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tone
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You’ve been called out again
Concerned about the soul I hold
In my heart I know he’s stubborn too
Awake the fallen father please
Thy power above all I hail
Sing, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tone
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You’ve been called out again
How silent is the lonely one?
What do we see, what do we know?
Marie Laveau, I’m full of hope
Let me speak until forever more
*Instrumental
How silent is the lonely one?
What do we see, what do we know?
Marie Laveau, I’m full of hope
Let me speak until forever more
Sing, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tone
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You’ve been called out again
Called out again
Called out again
Called out again
Called out again
I’m on my knees, I’m beggin’ you
Awake the fallen one in me
Thy power above all I hail
Together with cigars and gold
I’ll find you at the river’s end
As the followers enter your realm
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You’ve been called out again
In my heart I know he’s stubborn too
Awake the fallen father please
Thy power above all I hail
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You’ve been called out again
What do we see, what do we know?
Marie Laveau, I’m full of hope
Let me speak until forever more
What do we see, what do we know?
Marie Laveau, I’m full of hope
Let me speak until forever more
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You’ve been called out again
Called out again
Called out again
Called out again
Called out again

Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen told in an interview: "I've always been very interested in the spiritual world and all those kinds of things. Also dark, spiritual things… I guess it's just something that a lot of guys in the metal and rock scene are very into. I just remember very interested in it since I was a teenager, seeing a lot of horror movies, which I still do. But as I do believe in the spirit world, it is a very interesting world, because it has a very strong power. And the song 'Marie Laveau', it's not that much about her; it's more me trying to bring her back to life to use her spiritual powers to get in contact with my dead father."
Marie Laveau (1794 –1881) was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voodoo. Renowned as the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, both she and her daughter, Marie Laveau II, (1827 - c. 1895) had a great influence over their multiracial following.
