I put a hex on your soul
I put my tongue on your mouth
I placed your coin in the palm of my hand
Lifted your dirt-black bones out
On the sacred Hallow’s Eve
When the blackbirds caw
Near marshes where dead men swim slow
Your grave turned out
In the sweet surrender
Sweet serenity of death
In black rest’s deceptive lullaby
I pulled your bones out
For now, your coin is mine
I put a curse on your expired bones
Your silver coin I found
In the crick bed black-oak-hollow
I fished it out
Your mine now spook or swallow
My sickly sweet ghoul
Now you’ll sing me a blackbird lullaby
Your banshee shout
