Ballad Of The Bog Lake Weeper Lyrics

Bog Lake Weeper has come to town

The crops have been dying for days

So round up the sinners, let's burn em alive

Children you better behave

It crawls through the muck with the flesh of a corpse

In the dress of a long-buried bride

Eyes sallow and cold and teeth like a saw

Under the covers you'll hide

Give them up

The witches, the drunks

So we may be spared

No secrets, no lies

You will be our spies

Or be the next to die

It'll glide through your home like a shawl in a gail

And perch on your still-sleeping chest

When you eyes meet it's gaze your screams won't make a sound

As The Weeper collects on its debts

Arms heavy and still as if bound by dark chains

A spell that you can't help but fight

Though dawn brings the sun, in Bog Lake no one

Is certain they'll live through the night

Give them up

The witches, the drunks

So we may be spared

No secrets, no lies

You will be our spies

Or be the next to die

Give them up

The witches, the drunks

So we may be spared

No secrets, no lies

You will be our spies

Or be the next to die
