Hamatsa Lyrics

Album: Rat King

Hamatsa

Channeling the spirit of the bear

A wild animal in human form

Cannibal sect of savage tribe

Descendant from a man-eating giant

Solitude beyond the pale

Howling from the wilderness

Initiate the young

Ancient mysteries

Hamatsa

Winter feast the time to feed

Fierce gnashing of the mangled teeth

Biting members of the tribe

Ritual summons beast

Slave women become the meat

Purified by the sea

Induced vomiting

Bridge

White man come to our shores

Repressing the ways of old

Potlatch banned for sacrilege

Dying culture seen no more

Ancient brothers of the cult

Warned of the terrors

Companions of death

Sucking out brains

Undocumented mystics

Powers through blood

Deleting the culture of

Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw cult
