By their own will and their sworn vow |
Since the blind cock on dunghill crowed |
It was too late for them now |
For all that they had come to know |
They'd pledged a soul unto St. Toad |
By their own will and their sworn vow |
Since first they'd read 'The Golden Bough' |
And walked the spiral winding road |
It was too late for them now |
Omens were seen, the farrowing sow |
Birthed wizened piglet things that glowed |
By their own will and their sworn vow |
They'd seen the red-eyed white-winged Clough |
Perched on the roof of their abode |
It was too late for them now |
The weakest one, whose power was low! |
Would be the sacrifice they owed |
By their own will and their sworn vow |
It was too late for them now. |
