Tales -Scots Doric

Aye think o this

When winter breezes blaws aroun'

whare silent thochts are filled wae gloom

and drifting words,they echo past

frae fearful man an fearful lass

In haunted hooses and misty lans

whare Ghosties an gobblins an unco bans

Pass atween this an theirs, that form

amidst tha thunders crashing storm.

 

Aye tucked up aroun yeer mithers apron

wae teeth a nashing an voices wailing

Fine ye ken this unhaly nicht

tis filled wae all unGodly licht

Craw tha Banshee frae tha Ben

like howlet song throughoot tha Glen.

Satan, Auld horney casts his lots

for innocent bairnies fresh frae their cots

An' ancient stories there arise an fly

Like shooting stars that fill tha sky

for here in tales tha croonies dae rattle

in haunting airs and fiendish battle

leagons arise tae tha masters calling

This nicht hell awakens, aahhh tha heevens are falling.

 

Here in blackened darkened skies

whare lichtning flashes weaves an cries

An mortal man fears fa his soul

against that heelish burning coal

Ministers intae their beds are fleeing

wae ranting verses fa all their Dealing.

 

Whare auld worn hags an witches cast

upon tha waters that blaw an blast

drooning mony tha ship an sailor

all fa tha glory O their Demonic tailor

when cauldrens stir in bubbling brews

An damnation demands its richtful dues

tha lan' it heaves and haws

devouring all within its jaws

A Blood red Moon casts her lot

whare evil men have Died an fought

tha Earth auld an worn frae tribulation

demands the blood of every nation.

Here within the fields o life

brither against brither in war an strife

hae released all this fiendish nightmare

fa all their guilt,fa all they share
