The Night Ballad

       Ah well, I could tell you this story
       About the young lady so nice like the queen.
       She lived in a small poor village,
       A small poor house, where nobody in.
       She worked as zoology' teacher,
       But she never came to the preacher.
       All the time she stood at home like a mouth
       And sat with a candle alone in her house.

       There've been many troubles for neighbours:
       Their caws and their sheep have been just disappeared.
       They said it might be such a huge wolf,
       With that hungry huge wolf you wouldn't compete.
       The sheriff had nice little baby,
       But one night he saw it's bed shabby.
       All the neighbours had been frightened each other,
       No sister, no brother in bloody nightmere.

       Chorus:
       Dark night... How could you change our lives!
       Dark night... How could you sharpen knives!
       There is the night time, night time, night time,
       When we become so strange and spite
       From Satan's power
       And from the magical moon light.

       The strong buddies gathered together,
       They've kindled the fire and gone to the fight.
       But then they have showed the white feather
       As soon as they've heard wolfish song in the night.
       There've been very horrible howling,
       There've been very terrible roaring.
       "O-oh! O-oh!" - horrible and terrible roaring
       They've frozen in terror and horror of night.

       Chorus.

       The sheriff had taken the pistol
       From his pistol-holster. He shot in a flash.
       And then others braves had been risky,
       They stood in a posture and wanted to slash.
       The fog cleared away after shooting,
       And guys made a hooping and hooting.
       But as soon as they could come little closer,
       They saw the bare lady in blood with the trash...

       Chorus.

Blood-curdling verses. Don't know why but it remembered me of that Hotel California, where such strange incidents might occur.
Sometimes we cannot see a foe in our neighbour, bur sometimes our fear and lack of faith makes us consider our friends to be not so good guys, and awful things may happen.

Let us not be blinded by our fear,

With best regards,

You know, Vlad, such incidents aren't unusual here, in America. Even kids try to kill their neighbours and classmates. But I'd like to understand this song rather like a parody on a thriller than an original case, not more.
Thank you very much and be always happy!
Sincerely yours,
Yuriy
