The Cry Of The Banshee

As the moon at midnight moves through the starry sky Out there in the bog land the Banshee's shrill cry The one seldom heard and that human eyes cannot see Some say the ghost of one who died in agony. 'Tis said the cry of the banshee is a brief loud shrill screech That into the depths of the soul seem to reach And those who have heard it will never forget That loud ear piercing scream 'til the day of their death. To those who have heard it fear of the night it does bring The cry of the banshee is a terrifying thing The most terrifying scream that they ever did hear A cry that instil in those who hear it fear. The cry of the banshee is a blood curdling cry It pierces the silence of the midnight sky And those who have heard it never leave us in doubt That at midnight from their homes they never more venture out.
