*talking back and forth to tim*
(The Khoisan, it's what everyone is saying, Ayhee, try to get it straight, sounds like it, but I'm going to do my own thing…they're always singin)…

Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon

Praise God who has many names
But the devil have many more
And with the love that my mother gave me
I'm gonna knock the devil to the floor
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees

Beware the people who'll
try to convince you
That they know the dance
No matter the question
Be wary of those who believe in a neat little world
Because it's just fucking crazy
You know that it is

Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye

Walking along in this haze of confusion
Sometimes I can laugh
But sometimes it takes all of my strength
Just to find enough reason to take the next step
Step but I will, but I will 'till I do

Unh-huh, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay - Somebody's gonna change the world
E-hee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-Somebody's gonna change the world
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye

Brother, sister, brothers, sisters, all
Brother, sister, brothers, sisters

Praise God who has many names
But the devil has many more
So with the love that my mother gave me
I'm gonna drop the devil to the floor
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees

Strange evolution
When people have come
To believe that we are
Its greatest illusion
When really we're just
A collection of cells
Overrating themselves
Hello God, I'm a avoiding the truth

Drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
I say

Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye

Haha, I think 'Coy Sand' in my last comment is 'Khoisan'

First, not sure about "haze" or "age", it could be either I think.

Also, I wouldn't even attempt to decipher his chant. Those aren't words he's saying, it's just nonsense vocal noise (just like the Coy Sand people do). Don't decipher this.

Just a few differences:

I don't know if I would have written out the Ayhee line that way but I can't think of a particular better option so I'd leave it.

Didn't know how to italicize so I put in C like comments

Praise God, who has many names
But the devil have many more
And with the love that my mother gave me
I'm gonna knock the devil to the floor //drop -> knock

Walking along in this age of confusion // haze -> age
Sometimes I can laugh but sometimes it takes all of my strength // laugh
Just to find enough reason to take the next step, step
But I will, but I will, till I do

Brother, sister //singular the first time
Brothers, sisters
Brothers, sisters
Brothers, sisters

Strange evolution
When people have come to believe that we are its greatest conclusion
When really we're just a collection of cells //when really
Overrating themselves
And oh God, I'm avoiding the truth
