about

Responding to Vulcan is Oya. Oya is an orisha of the Yoruba religion of Nigeria, Benin and Togo. Oya is a warrior spirit who represents wind, fertility and magic. She also represents change as the guardian of the gates of death and the keeper of the cemetery. She was the first wife of Chango, orisha of fire and thunder, and she stole his power over fire by drinking some of his magic potion when he was away at battle. As such she is also associated with thunder and lightning. In Santeria, a syncretic religion of West Africa and the Caribbean, Oya is identified with Our Lady of the Candelaria (a Spanish word meaning conflagration or large, destructive fire).

lyrics

Change Will Come - Oya (Armstrong & Roschkov)


Although the end is now in sight

I fear the time is not quite right

For now, my gentle winds will blow

Hush My Lord, Change Will Come

Hush My Lord, Change Will Come

Clouds are fast over the land

Weather’s stranger every day

That’s just our planet’s ancient way

Chorus

Change is a constant thing you know

Only certainty will flow

Old will eventually go

Chorus
