lyrics

They spoke to me of evil things
They spoke to me of time
They spoke to me in esoteric riddles
And in a languages that rhymes

(CHORUS)
They told me haunting stories
About pale ghosts that sing
They hung the garlic around my neck
To ward off evil things

--

They cried for stolen fields long lost
Singing songs for dying rebels
They chased banshees from the village green
And from round the haunted gallows

They shouted names of absent landlords
Riding out on head-less horses
Away from drunken ranting raving roman priests
Who were shouting ancient curses

(CHORUS)
They told me haunting stories
About pale ghosts that sing
They hung the garlic around my neck
To ward off evil things

And they chased the banshees from the village green
And they rode on headless horses

--

They brushed the bed with heather stem
And sprinkled holy water
They hung the garlic around my neck
To ward off evil things
They spilled the blood Of a new born calf
Around the house at midnight
They called the Priestess from the temple door
To calm the wild wild horses
