Beware when the vulture flies,
Beware when the banshee screams,
Beware when nightmares in disguise
paint black your fairest dreams.

Keep watch when the candle dims,
Keep watch when the barn owls shriek,
Keep watch when you commit foul sins
lest torment should you seek.

Take heed when the wolf pack calls,
Take heed when dark spirits rise,
Take heed, my friend, lest when night falls,
you be those spirits' prize.
