The Deadly Banshee

Intro
Marie can see a Banshee walking on still water,
In the backyard of her house beside her two Sons and her Daughter.
Singing her ballad in the winter mornings cold,
Who will make their exit? Who will not grow old?

Chorus
Hold your breath when you hear the Banshee cry,
When it runs in your blood, someones about to die.
Blindfold the innocent, they dont want to see,
Or hear the deathly cry of the deadly Banshee.

Verse
Young Taylor is a Virgin, as sweet as a rose,
In love with a Pilot whose name is Roger Jones.
She still says childish words, shes still just a girl,
Growing up by force into this cruel world.

Verse
Young John is addicted to winning first prize,
At everything he enters, gold medal in his eyes.
He loves to steal the show, everywhere he goes,
And yet there is so much he still doesnt know.

Chorus
Hold your breath when you hear the Banshee cry,
When it runs in your blood, someones about to die.
Blindfold the innocent, they dont want to see,
Or hear the deathly cry of the deadly Banshee.

Verse
Young Charles is in the middle, between John and Taylor,
When hes not playing chess he dreams of being a Sailor.
He wants to belong like his older brother John,
But life has other plots for him to meet head-on.

Bridge
Stung into action, Marie began to run,
She exploded in a frenzy, unlocked the shotgun,
When they saw her coming, the kids began to scream,
As Marie took aim, fired at the Banshee.

Chorus
Hold your breath when the Banshee starts to cry,
When it runs in your blood, someones about to die.
Blindfold the innocent, they dont want to see,
Or hear the deathly cry of the deadly Banshee.

End
In their family picture, theyre smiling happily,
Taylor, John and Charles, but now theres no Marie..
