"The Payment"

halloween is the most appropriate time to post this song...
and i typically do...
but i decided to try a brand new fresh mix on the new daw today, a new approach, and toss it out there to you for a halloween trick or treat.
here's the story:
it's a little ditty about 2 brothers and a lycanthrope.......
it's loosely based on the original wolfman movie, the one where larry talbot gets bitten by the werewolf, and he see's the pentagram in his hand, and he knows he's fucked, so he goes to the old gypsy woman to get fixed, and she basically tells him to kill himself...... what a bum deal...
anyway, these 2 brothers have been partying all night, drunk as a skunk, one of them wanders out into the moor, and meets his maker.
the other brother wants revenge, but figures he'd better get some ammunition, so he goes to see the gypsy-witch, to get some aconite (wolfsbane) and a spell here and a prayer there, and figures he's set, so he goes out to the moor too, to get his revenge.
but that's not what he gets......
“The Payment”
Written by Robert F. Gilliland
c1999 Robert F. Gilliland
Nightime, on the moor
drank up all the mead
mist is in the air
full moon, did the deed.
never saw the evil...
that poor ole son of a *****
felt the claws that gripped his throat
yeah, he was dead without a twitch.
'it's your brother down on the moor,
with his head down at his feet!'
drink the aconite, tonight
toast the witches curse
pray to whoever you believe in
to pass over you the worst
it's your brother on the moor,
with his head down at his feet
and the debt has not been paid in full
will you, your maker, meet?
run into the moor
and see the evil eye
upon you cast a glance,
and the payment, it is nigh.
