lyrics

You want me to fail
But you can’t have me

When darkness falls
and creeps upon me
half awake
or half sleep
may I ask you
wistful wraith....
what do you long for?

Shades
with spider fingers
cast a spell
a curse that lingers
but long ago
I shed this nightmare
to be forlorn

(And when I deny you..)
You appear before my eyes ...
deceive me with your lies
and drain my will to drink my tears...
feast on my deepest fears

You're coming in disguise
pretending to be a friend
and though I don't believe
You still will come when all the lights get dim

Vanish into oblivion
go and leave me alone!
Go back where you belong!
Go!

(gasping)

I can’t move, I can’t shout
my hands are tongue are tied with fright
Without defense I cannot fight
The horrid things that come at night

But I see your shadow crawls
like ink your cloak unfurls
a cloud of rags as black as coal
jumps over me to stain my soul!

But you can't steal it from this shrine
You can't take it cos it's mine
You want me to fail...
But you can't have it
You're not real...! Go!
When darkness falls ...
And nightmare comes

/ghostly whispers/
Liar, Deceiver
I won't lie to you
Stay the night with me. Haunt me
Child, do not distrust me
I'm forsaken, forgotten
dream of me
remains of myself ...Nightmare

Louisa John-Krol is probably one of Australia's most prolific musicians (not to mention a true storyteller in the traditional sense of the world), and yet she deserves to be better-known. This sampler — featuring some of her best work from the Prikosnovénie era (and before then) along with tracks previously unavailable anywhere until now — is a welcome way to get acquainted. I would also recommend it to any live-streaming musicians seeking to build their folk / faerie repertoire. Philip David Morgan
