Lyrics

V1

Gravity swallows light

In the darkness, they will come

You might put up a fight

Fear can make you feel numb

V2

Flying past in the moonlight

Red hair long and streaming

Lamenting songs in the night

Spirits appear while you are dreaming

Chorus

Rising from the mound

Death is close, lurking near

Mournful like no other sound

Predictions filled with fear

Keening women wail at night

Bulging red eyes, agony

Sure to cause you a fright

It's the cry of the banshee

V3

There's no place that you can hide

They know just where to look

All the tears that you have cried

For those caught by their hooks

Chorus

Rising from the mound

Death is close, lurking near

Mournful like no other sound

Predictions filled with fear

Keening women wail at night

Bulging red eyes, agony

Sure to cause you a fright

It's the cry of the banshee

Chorus

Rising from the mound

Death is close, lurking near

Mournful like no other sound

Predictions filled with fear

Keening women wail at night

Bulging red eyes, agony

Sure to cause you a fright

It's the cry of the banshee
