Topless ladies storm the occasion with dangling breasts.
A thousand years of reserved virginity
Disregarded for a old man who had already married twenty-five times
And tradition calls that he adds more to his harem.
Every year after the New Yam Festival
Eligible women from the four corners of the clan convene to this epic dance
And the king test if their virginity is still intact by observing their breasts
And the worthiest lady joins the King's harem.
Two years ago a man macheted a lad for dating his daughter
and ''ruining their family's future''.
Another young man was exiled into the evil forest and the spirits took his life.
The people took it as a religion. The religion consumed them.
The gods toy with man when he pays too much devotion to their fanatic rules
And according to history, this dance had done more harm than good.
Robbed people of their rights and edified the king into a god
That he had an ultimate right to everything.
A dance for the king and topless ladies storm with dangling breasts
Virgins! With a thousand years of reserved virginity
On a wasted show of an old man soon to make them widows
And they call it tradition.
