Everyone in this forest is going to the festival We are joyous jesters, We are folk of silent groves! I’ll take you where the bloodred lights hang like foul lanterns from the boughs Eager to become your greatest fears! Aren’t you afraid of the blackness? Aren’t you terrified of moving shadows? Your house is dark, and you’re alone And by the way we stole your riches. we are the maelstrom that’s been tearing lands apart We are the eyes you can sense in the forest Everything around you goes bump in the night Turn around and count to ten, we’ll never go away! All my friends have iron pikes and spirits darker than the grave All my inhibitions died a thousand years ago I fought fire with fire and I emerged with bloody victory Smeared across this cap upon my head. Isn’t this a strange place for hide and seek When you lose your way in wicked trees And a million hands seem to grasp and claw Dragging you back to face your fears

Hunched upon a wooden throne In the caverns cold and dim Dancing shadows cloak his form Mankind fears to gaze on him Casting mischief with a smirk on his face From his hovel under the roots Singing songs of trouble to come Soon his hordes shall be afoot. goblin laughter in the depths The smell of ale upon their breath Fly through forest, march through fen Creep to haunt the towns of men Mighty king with painted face Wielding sacred wooden mace On his head a rusted crown He will turn the world upside-down Man and beast are running scared As the horde swarms o’er the hills Screaming with a savage glee Never sleeping, never still. Now behold the painted king Strutting through a town aflame Calls for all to join his ranks “Who shall come and play my game?” goblin faces in the dark In their eyes a laughing spark Men and goblin join as one For the mayhem has begun Empty flagons in the mud Mischief running in their blood Goblin flutes play all around The world is turning upside-down. Revelers cavort and dance On this night, the feast of fools The sight brings laughter and delight To the heart of the Lord of Misrule! goblin faces in the dark In their eyes a greedy spark You do not know fear or shame Set the bleeding hills aflame Breathe the chaos from the fire Ghoulish hordes that never tire Make the sky repeat the sound Of the world turned upside-down!

Warm was the light in your eyes when we met Now cold is the night I will never forget This hut has gone silent since that autumn day I left my belief and I threw you away In this heart an emptiness grows Can faith get us through this? We may never know Clinging to legends and shallow belief I lay my head down and I dream of relief. The music has stopped and the players moved on The voice that was singing is faded and gone The forests and lakes are now spiritless holes There’s no one left here. I will not be consoled In these minds the memory is dead Will no one remember the heroes who bled? Festivals follow, for what we don’t know There will be no harvest. We reap what we sow. The one that I loved has since fled from my side And the empty earth drank of the tears that I cried the beauty is gone from the summer sunrise I’ve watched the world wither so I’m closing my eyes. In these souls the fear will remain With all else forgotten my deeds were in vain. I will still weep when I think on that day When I burned the legends, the magic, away.
