The Changeling Lyrics by Cruachan

The Living and the Dead

2023

[Verse 1]
As the driving rain begins to fall
Listen closely, you shall hear them call
As the western wind begins to howl
It brings a promise of an act most foul
[Verse 2]
Stare into the night and you will find them
Gaze upon the child and you will bring them
Let not the cradle stray away from sight
Else the Faerie folk will come tonight
[Chorus]
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
[Verse 3]
The child you love, the child you do adore
Has changed into a creature you abhor
A twisted version of the child that was
The darkest of exchanges was the cause
[Chorus]
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
[Verse 4]
Cast this wicked child upon the pyre
Force the sinful changeling to retire
Now your child the Faeries shall return
Lest their addled child forever burn
[Chorus]
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
From the woods we come, from the forest deep
Take the child from slumber, take the child from sleep
