about

What if we lived in a world where the monsters were real? What would city folk, safe behind their high walls sing to their children at night?
Maybe something like this.

lyrics

Theres spectres and goblins under your bed
waiting to take you for free
So gather your blankets, and cuddle your ted
Come sit by the fire with me.
Deep out in the forest the spriggan doth wait
His mossy claws twitching with glee
Remember to finish now whats on your plate
You don't want to end up his tea.

Take up your candle and leave the lamp on
A circle of light with no fear.
Keep your wooden sword by the head of your bed
For when darkness comes creeping, fell creatures draw near.

The sentry stands watch on the walls of the town
To keep all the monsters away.
He gazes out over the forest outside
For what is out there he can't say
A mist bellows up from the valley below
Clinging to all in its way,
Does it conceal shriekers, who slink in the night
So lock all your windows and pray

Take up your candle and leave the lamp on
A circle of light with no fear.
Keep your wooden sword by the head of your bed
For when darkness comes creeping, fell creatures draw near.

There wolves that will bay at the light of the moon
Yet some of them walk on two legs
Hold your silver rattle when you go to sleep
Or else they may tear you to shreds
So stay by the fire, stay inside the walls
Sunlight will soon reappear
With your ma and pa you will surely be safe
for nothing can harm you in here.

Take up your candle and leave the lamp on
A circle of light with no fear.
Keep your wooden sword by the head of your bed
For when darkness comes creeping, we're here.
