Muddy Maiden
There once lived a fair maid of high blood,
With beauty like that of a rosebud,
A promised bride,
Her hand was denied,
So he buried the town under mud.
Ravensong
Sing a song of sixpence,
Beware the Vistana's eye;
When the Master slumbers,
Ravens fill the sky.
Souls a-wing, the ravens sing,
O'er the land they fly;
But when the devil count awakens,
The ravens have to die.
Cry a dirge of twopence,
Mourning for the dead;
By hook or crook, by bow or stone,
Unto death they're led.
Tell-tale Tit
Tell-tale tit
Your tongue shall be split
And all the dogs in the town
shall have a little bit

The Ladies' Children

Wolf, raven, rat;


Covered in fleas,
Wear the silver,
'Ware the moon;
Lest woe fall unto thee.
Knocking on the Window
Tilli-tilli-bom
Quickly close your eyes now
The Night Mother walks outside
And knocks on the window
Tilli-tilli-bom
The bightbirds are chirping
She is inside the house
To visit those who can't sleep
She walks. She is coming. Closer
Tilli-tilli-bom
Can you hear her closing in?
Lurking around the corner
Staring right at you
Tilli-tilli-bom
The silent night hides everything
She sneaks up behind you
And she's going to get you

She walks. She is coming. Closer

Hush
Baby, baby, naughty baby,

Hush, you squalling thing, I say.


Peace this moment, peace, or maybe
The Devil's Hand will pass this way.
Baby, baby, he's a giant,
Tall and black as Andral's steeple,
And he breakfasts, dines, rely on't,
Every day on naughty people.
Baby, baby, if he hears you
As he gallops past the house,
Limb from limb at once he'll tear you,
Just as pussy tears a mouse.
And he'll beat you, beat you, beat you,
And he'll beat you into pap,
And he'll eat you, eat you, eat you,
Every morsel snap, snap, snap
Father
Each night Father fills me with dread
When he sits on the foot of my bed;
I’d not mind that he speaks in gibbers and squeaks
But for seventeen years he’s been dead.
Ravens of the Mists
Black on black, a raven’s wing
A pretty girl waits for a ring
A pretty girl waits for a feast
A humble glance before a priest.
Red on black, a boy lies dead
The Devil came and took his head
The Devil came down from the mists
His lightning blade, it never missed.
Black on blue, a raven soars
A boy is free of all the wars
A boy is free of all the lies
He pays a visit to his bride.
Black on black, a raven’s wing
A girl in white dress does not sing
A girl in white dress only cries
Of black on black up in the skies.
Arrabelle's Song
Ohh the fanes of Brovia in your name we pray
Ohh the fanes of Brovia you are gone today
The seeker cannot see any more, her eyes are gray and sad. The forest was her home and now its
only wood.
Ohh the fanes of Brovia in your name we pray
Ohh the fanes of Brovia you are gone away
The hunter no longer keeps the wolves at bay, witches feed on her blood every night and day.
Ohh the fanes of Brovia in your name we pray
Ohh the fanes of Brovia you have lost your way
The swamp was her home but not on this day, she played her last trick her power drained away
Ohh the fanes of Brovia in your name we pray

Ohh the fanes of Brovia come home someday.
