Lyrics
In the darkest hue
With the curtains drawn,
Suddenly my lights flickered,
And I heard her song,
Hey! You in the dark,
In the darkening hue,
This is the banshee,
I’ve come for you.
I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.
I know you’re way too cheap
To hitch a ride,
So I’ve personally come,
But I’m too young I cried
I don’t want to go,
But it was too late,
We were already down the road.
And she picked up those who’d strayed,
And she picked up those who were strong,
And she picked up those who’d blessed us,
And she picked up those who were wrong.
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
And taught them how to scream this song.
I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.
I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
When the young ones come,
The old’s got to go
If you’ve heard me,
It’s already too late.
I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.
And she picked up by those who’d prayed,
And she picked up those who were good,
And she picked up those who’d confessed,
And she picked anyone she could,
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
Taught them how to scream this song.
I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.
A Banshee is a death-spirit native to Celtic mythology and was regarded either as a type of fairy or a ghost, regardless of origin a Banshee was always seen as an omen of death and her screaming was said to be heard by those destined to die
