Johnny Lemuria - Curse of Lono Blues Lyrics

I run across the shifting sands
Innocent blood is on my hands
Vengeance seekers at my heels
And in the distance thunder peals

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

I am not to blame you see
This mortal sin can't fall on me
I was driven mad with jealousy
Blame love for death and set me free

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

I had loved her from afar
'Neath every sun, and every star
She had looked at other men
But I would win her in the end

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

I resolved to win the fight
After the luau, that summer night
I would take my love in stride
And tell her she would be my bride

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

But all my hopes and dreams were naught
Within another's arms I caught
The woman that should have been mine
And that is where I crossed the line

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

My heart cut out by her treason
I suppose that was the reason
On her heart I returned the favor
I did not pause, did not waver

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

I run and run towards the city
I seek its refuge, I seek its pity
I run on but cannot find the place
Where the guilty may hide their face

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

I realize now that it's too late
The mob already sealed my fate
In this hell of shifting sands
I'll run forever with bloody hands

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono

You can't run from the waka e po
They will drag you down below
Before King Milu you will go
And face the curse of the god Lono
