about

A child's song describing the horrible creatures outside the slave containment that capture any escapee and maul them quite often to death

lyrics

GRUAGACH!
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander


Deep within the forest dark,
Lies a beast with baleful bark-
Feasting on a infant’s soul
Cross it’s path and pay the toll-

AR RAH! GRUAGACH! AR RAH! GRUAGACH!

Pass not through the village gate,
Sun has set and day is late-
If you walk alone at night,
You meet black and grey and white-

Crouched upon a rock or tree,
It eats either you or me-
It needs neither knife nor bowl,
Drinks your blood out of your skull-

Eyes to flame a fearful red,
Claws to rend a body dead-
Teeth to strip your white bones bare,
They knit mittens from your hair-

They will tan your hide for shoes,
Boil your fat to grease their stews-
Singing shanties to your groans,
Playing pipes of hollow bones-

Run, hide, stay inside! Listen unto me!
Dark sport is the court of the UnSeelie!

I have saved these words for last,
Learn them well and hold them fast-
Never venture from your bed,
Else your very soul is dead!
