lyrics

I knew a lad a bonny wee lad
With apples in his cheeks
And curling hair so wild and fair
And eyes of blue so deep and true
A hero’s strong physique

I followed him here I followed him there
I followed him to his house
I watched him go both to and fro
Work and play for a week and a day
As silent as a mouse

And then I crept inside his home
With a mask over my face
Under the moon at an hour opportune
A happy man with a foolproof plan
Under a cloud of grace

I cut his throat with my sacred blade
And daubed his blood on the walls
Cut him apart, tore out his heart
And placed his head at the foot of his bed
And sang the sacred calls

I offered him to the ancient gods
That lurk beyond the veil
It’s their delight to haunt the night
And feast on souls as told by scrolls
That prophecy entails

And when I’ve offered a dozen more
My masters will arise
13 dead will see them fed
They’ll take their place in outer space
And shadows fill the skies
