The Pine Barrens' Curse

[Verse] In the shadow of the old pine trees, Where the fog clings tight like a ghostly breeze, Legend tells of a creature lost, With a soul that’s eternally tempest-tossed. [Verse 2] They say it roams through night so deep, In the Barrens where the lost ones weep, Eyes like fire, heart like ice, It’s a devil’s child, born from vice. [Chorus] Beware the Pine Barrens, tales of woe, Where secrets whisper and shadows grow, The thing that lurks, unseen by day, In the moonlight’s grip, it comes out to play. [Verse 3] Folks don’t wander past kin’s call, For fear they’ll answer the creature’s thrall, Hooves and wings, a monstrous sight, A spine-chilling scream that severs the night. [Verse 4] Many have tried, but none can tame, A beast that’s bound by ancient name, Long as the pines stand dark and tall, The curse will claim both great and small. [Chorus] Beware the Pine Barrens, tales of woe, Where secrets whisper and shadows grow, The thing that lurks, unseen by day, In the moonlight’s grip, it comes out to play.
