Summer's End

In the mist of summer’s end
Darkness shambles through
Scritch and scratch and claw and rend
They have come for you

You did tread the fairest land
Didn’t do the dance
Not an offering in hand
Not a blood or chance

Scrag the tooth and broken jaw
Crunch your bone and chew
Don’t get stuck inside its maw
They have come for you

Spinnie claw and web the cob
Whirling jumping fast
Twist your neck and breath your rob
You have breathed your last

Six of leg and six of arm
Six of blood and hand
Rend the tear and tear the harm
Throw you cross the land

Not a way to save your soul
Late its dark and cold
Cos the fairest peace you stole
You will not grow old

In the mist of summer’s end
Darkness shambles through
Scritch and scratch and claw and rend
They have come for you
