Ritual On The Roof <@>
folk, Chaotic genre-blend: stomping house-acoustic groove under gritty slide-blues guitar, splashes of acid-tinged metal riffs, Norse/Swedish folk flourishes. Pan pipes and bagpipe drones in the hook; sax, harmonica, and whistling answer the vocal phrases. Big gang-shout choruses, male vocals roaring with playful menace, energy rising from drunken swagger to ecstatic, unholy party anthem., saxophone, acoustic blues, metal

Lyrics
Intro
Baron Samedi
Tip your hat
Light that grin
We turned the graveyard
To a dive bar
Let them in (hey!)
Verse 1
Bastet by the jukebox
Claws on velvet skin
Hades in a lounge suit
Let the dead folk in
Orpheus on barstools
Tuning up his sins
We carved the sky wide open
Let the bad dreams spin
Chorus
Ritual on the roof
Debauchery in daylight (oh yeah)
We toast the gods and ghosts
’til the bones feel right
Spin that world off-axis
Pour that wicked proof
Baron
Raise your glass
For the ritual on the roof
Verse 2
Dancing on the spruce goose
Wings of rust and chrome
Norse boys slam their tankards
Call this place their home
Swedish choir howling
Saffron on their tongues
Pan pipes chase the bagpipes
’round our breaking lungs
Chorus
Ritual on the roof
Debauchery in daylight (come on)
We toast the gods and ghosts
’til the bones feel right
Spin that world off-axis
Pour that wicked proof
Baron
Raise your glass
For the ritual on the roof
Bridge
Fifty-two hertz heart
Singing lonely to the moon
Baron says
“That broken song
Is perfect for this room” (woo)
Whistles cut the silence
Sax and harmonica cry
We make a choir out of misfits
Shouting blessings to the sky
Chorus
Ritual on the roof
Debauchery in daylight
We toast the gods and ghosts
’til the bones feel right
Spin that world off-axis
Every saint gone loose
Baron
Call the last round
At the ritual on the roof (hey!)
