Marie can see a Banshee on still water, In the backyard of her house her two Sons and her Daughter. Singing her ballad in the mornings cold, Who make their exit? Who will not grow old?
Hold your breath when you hear the cry, When it runs in your blood, someones to die. the innocent, they dont want to see, Or hear the deathly cry of the Banshee.
Young Taylor is a Virgin, as as a rose, In love with a Pilot whose name is Jones. She still says childish words, shes just a girl, Growing up by into this cruel world.
Young is addicted to winning first prize, At he enters, gold medal in his eyes. He loves to steal the show, he goes, And yet there is so he still doesnt know.
Hold your breath when you hear the cry, When it runs in your blood, about to die. Blindfold the innocent, dont want to see, Or hear the deathly cry of the Banshee.
Young Charles is in the middle, John and Taylor, hes not playing chess he dreams of being a Sailor. He wants to belong like his older John, But has other plots for him to meet head-on.
Stung action, Marie began to run, She exploded in a frenzy, the shotgun, When they saw her coming, the kids to scream, As Marie aim, fired at the Banshee.
Hold your breath when the starts to cry, When it in your blood, someones about to die. Blindfold the innocent, they want to see, Or hear the deathly cry of the Banshee.
End In their family picture, smiling happily, Taylor, and Charles, but now theres no Marie..
