Sawney Bean |
A family inbred like serpents entwined |
Had no heart and little mind |
A clan of madness, a terrible scene |
They cursed the earth — the Sawney Bean |
Lurking in the fog a fearsome brood |
Poor traveling folk they caught and slew |
No graves have the victims of these ghouls and fiends |
Those taken and eaten by — the Sawney Bean |
From their flesh they made a meal |
Their skin the floor for their bairns to kneel |
Their skulls a table from which to feed |
Alas the victims of — the Sawney Bean |
They lived by the sword, were felled by the axe |
And I say «nothing wrong with that» |
But in their hellish caves worse than any dream |
Cursed with the stench of — the Sawney Bean |
Some are haunted by the tolling bell |
Some by the fiery pits of hell |
But what haunts me is what we did see |
When we entered the larder of — the Sawney Bean |
