Skeptik - Scarecrow Lyrics

Lyrics Scarecrow - Skeptik



From the middle of the stalks, it watches the harvest as seasons change
Watches with a smile, amused by all beneath its plane
All that lonely eyes behold become characters
A theater production of crows, their calls narrating
A desolate performance of the reaping and sowing
That over many moons turned into a field ungrowing
And though the legend is unspoken by the town below
The passersby heed the warning of the old scarecrow
Night by night, day by day
Don't go near the old cornmaze
Harvest moon intruders fall
Scarecrow leads them through the stalks
Can you hear the ravens song, it scatters the silence of the evening
Keep your home closed, ignore the muffled screaming
Everybody knows, but no one dares mention
Cause no one can forget the dark archaic legend
The chimes heard ringing on a windless night
Carrying a cruel, haunting melody, enveloping the scythe
Of a hollowed eyed straw man, awoken and watching
Devoid of a soul under full moon and stalking the crops
Night by night, day by day
Don't go near the old cornmaze
Harvest moon intruders fall
Scarecrow leads them through the stalks
Blood for the harvest, bones for the beast
Free from the post as the host is unleashed
Caught in a place where no god is in earshot
Into the corn and reborn into fear, caught
Blood for the harvest, bones for the beast
Free from the post where the host is unleashed
Caught in a place where no god is in earshot
Into the corn and reborn into fear
Night by night, day by day
Don't go near the old cornmaze
Harvest moon intruders fall
Scarecrow leads them through the stalks
