When They Come
Yo ho!
Rattle me bones.
Snap them back and forth.
Lick the marrow that drips.
Suck the rest that stays inside.
Fear the monster in the halls.
Scream when the banshee calls.
Cry when they knock down your door.
Wreck the kitchen and storm down the stairs.
Catch the house on fire while children sleep.
Parents weep when they hear their calls.
You weren't aware of this beast at all.
Rattle me bones.
Snap them back and forth.
Lick the marrow that drips.
Suck the rest that stays inside.
Fear the monster in the halls.
Scream when the banshee calls.
Cry when they knock down your door.
Wreck the kitchen and storm down the stairs.
Catch the house on fire while children sleep.
Parents weep when they hear their calls.
You weren't aware of this beast at all.
