lullaby of woe

Singer:peter hollens

wolves asleep amidst the trees

bats all a swaying in the breeze

but one soul lies anxious

wide awake

fearing no manner of ghouls hags and wraiths

for your dolly polly sleep has flown

don't dare let her tremble alone

for the witcher

heart-less

cold

paid in coin of gold

he comes

he'll go

leave naught behind

but heartache and woe

deep

deep woe

folks are laying in their beds

dreaming away their dreads

but one soul lies anxious

wide awake

fearing all manner of ghouls

hags

and wraiths

tell your dolly polly start to sleep

he can't catch you if you're far and deep

for the witcher

contract sold

paid in coin of gold

he comes

he'll go

leave naught behind

but heartache and woe

deep

deep woe

birds are silent for the night

cows turned in as daylight dies

but one soul lies anxious

wide awake

fearing no manner of ghouls

hags

and wraiths

my dear dolly polly

shut your eyes

lie still lie silent utter no cries

for the witcher

brave and bold

paid in coin of gold

he'll chop and slice you

cut and dice you

eat you up whole

eat you whole
