The Banshee's Cry

When the night is drawing near,
And darkness fills the sky,
Hold on to what you hold dear,
For you can hear the banshees cry.

Their horrible, tormented screams,
Fill passersby with dread,
Their terror's echoed within dreams,
For their wailing hails the dead.

The banshee's cry, so it is told,
Signals a person's death,
And the doomed one lies still, feeling cold,
And draws their final breath.

So if you hear within the night,
A wailing as if from hell,
Focus past the grip of fright,
And be sure your loved ones are well!
