lyrics

The Hobbling Horro!

Dear boy, dear boy,
So hushed you are.
Wandering, searching,
Lost, limping in the dark.
Dear boy, dear boy,
His hands so cold.
Hunger's mewling toy,
So bitter and cold.

Whistling, whistling in the woods
Where whimsy children played,
Where watching in the woods
The Whispered Omen stayed.

Wandering, wandering in the woods
Where woodwind music bayed,
Where Jake with heart willed good
The Whispered Omen stayed.

One night, one night in the woods
Where wily children pranked,
Where Jake was towed through mud
The Whispered Omen stayed.

Wailing, wailing in the woods
Where under wick and flame
Where Jake was wrapped and bound
The Whispered Omen came.

It found him

Warping, warping in the woods
Where time was wrought and tamed
Where Jake would burst of blood
The Whispered Omen spake.

Whispered, whispered in the woods
Where deal was wanton made
Where Jake agreed he would
The Whispered Omen spake.

Wanted, wanted in the woods,
Where Jake limped in the haze,
Where wily children worry,
The Whispered Omen ate!

Dear boy, dear boy,
So hushed you are.
Scouring wooded void,
Bound, limping in the dark.
Dear boy, dear boy,
With hands so cold.
Hunger's wretched toy,
So bitter and cold.
