#dullahan
Where she stops Someone dies Grandma keep a watchful eye For on your deathbed as you lay The Dullahan will come to play Gifted with supernatural sight You, she sees, in the dark of night A whip of a human spine she does wield From her, your soul I cannot shield Head in hand, grey with decay I pray to the gods—come what may On her pitch-black steed she rides Dressed in a gown stitched of human hides Her decapitated head wears a Glasgow grin Prepare for death when the Dullahan comes riding in Member of the Unseelie Court She’s the collector of souls; bodies amort Although the protective curtain’s drawn Grandma, you’ll be dead before the dawn
