There was a story once told
Of faeries and bluebirds
With sunshine and rainbows in the air
But they didn’t tell you
About the witches and crows
And the thunderstorms that came before
Neither did they warn you
About the dragons and lizards
Hiding in caves
Nor about the monsters
And gloomy forests
Lying in wait for their next victim
I bet they didn’t tell you
About the troll that lived under the bridge
Bidding his time for you to come along
Did they forewarn about
The bandits on top of the mountains
Waiting for you to pass by
Or the ghouls in the graveyard
Watching you shake
As you enter through the creaking gates
Can you hear the hyenas laughing
And the wolves howling
When the moon is full
Do you see the dirt crumbling
And that green hand stretching out
Or that limping figure in the distance
Bet you didn’t know
Bet they didn’t tell you
Bet they were waiting for you to fall
And they said
There was a story once told
Of faeries and bluebirds
With sunshine and rainbows in the air
