The Tale of Elijah

This song lays the ground work to tell the story of Elijah who is the Keeper of Crossroads in my Creole Vampire Story set in 1860 New Orleans.

Verse 1
On the edges of the town, where the cypress trees sway,
Elijah walks the border at the edge of the bay.
Eyes like fire in the candle’s low light,
Keeper of the balance in the heart of the night.

Chorus
Dancing in shadows, moving like flame,
Whispers know his secret, but none speak his name.
From the crossroads of silence to the songs of the square,
Elijah the watcher is always there.

Verse 2
He feeds on the rhythm, the pulse of desire,
Steps to the drum like a ritual fire.
Every glance is a story, every move is a spell,
He guards the unseen that no tongue can tell.

Chorus
Dancing in shadows, moving like flame,
Whispers know his secret, but none speak his name.
From the crossroads of silence to the songs of the square,
Elijah the watcher is always there.

Verse 3 (Rooftop Watcher)
High above the cobbled street,
Lanterns glow and voices meet.
On rooftops where the shadows stay,
Elijah keeps the night at bay.

Bridge
He’s the messenger silent, the guardian unseen,
In the folds of the city where past meets dream.
Marie LaVeau whispers, the bayou replies,
And Elijah moves onward beneath hidden skies.

Final Chorus
Dancing in shadows, moving like flame,
Whispers know his secret, but none speak his name.
From the rooftops of silence to the songs of the square,
Elijah the watcher is always there.
