About this song
The terror of Shadowmoor deals curses for the smallest of transgressions -- and she prides herself on the wit of every hex. Auntie Ool lives in a twig hut on giant frog legs, leaping through the bogs to find her next victim. This dark folk anthem tells her story.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] My house has legs and so do I We hop the bogs beneath the sky A twig and bone menagerie That finds you long before you flee I heard you spoke my name last night I heard you laughed by firelight A gossip earns a special treat A wart that talks on both your cheeks [Pre-Chorus] Every hex a work of art Tailored curses, made to smart [Chorus] Don't you dare disturb my sleep I craft the debts you're gonna keep A clever curse for every crime The punishment will fit just fine The whole bog knows the things I've done I'm not finished, I've just begun [Verse 2] They tell the younglings, stay away But boggarts never do as they say They creep up close to steal a peek And leave my hut on wobbling feet The Grub tells fables, soft and kind I tell the ones that rot your mind Where she would teach, I'd rather show How deep a proper curse can go [Pre-Chorus] Every hex a masterpiece Signed and sealed and won't release [Chorus] Don't you dare disturb my sleep I craft the debts you're gonna keep A clever curse for every crime The punishment will fit just fine The whole bog knows the things I've done I'm not finished, I've just begun [Bridge] Shadowmoor made me what I am The dark half of a kinder land Where once the aunties shared their lore I found a use for something more The blight is just another tongue A language older than the sun [Final Chorus] Don't you dare disturb my sleep I craft the debts you're gonna keep A clever curse for every crime The punishment will fit just fine The whole bog knows the things I've done I'm not finished, I've just begun [Outro] My house has legs... and so do I
