📝 LYRICS – The Banshee’s Wail: A Cry From Beyond
The night was still, the air was thin,
A hush lay heavy deep within.
A sound arose—a mournful sigh,
That swept beneath the starless sky.
A farmer turned within his bed,
And felt a chill that filled with dread.
A distant wail—a voice so thin,
It seemed to call, yet not to him.
The village priest, so old and wise,
Had seen such omens in his time.
A cup was cracked, the mirror too,
The hounds had howled at nothing new.
A shadow passed across the glen,
And silence settled once again.
No footfalls marked the frozen ground,
Yet something stirred—unseen, unbound.
A candle flickered—once, then twice,
The air grew sharp as winter’s ice.
A final sigh, a breath grown weak,
An elder gasped but could not speak.
Not beast, nor man, nor ghost unchained,
Not demon cursed, nor witch unnamed.
A weeping voice, a sorrow deep,
A mourner who will never sleep.
The banshee walks where death draws near,
Not seen in full, yet ever here.
Not to slay, nor bring the knife—
But to cry the loss of fleeting life.
Thus ends the tale of the phantom’s wail,
A whisper soft, a sorrowed veil.
