Shh! Don't Speak His Name
A legend that many believe is real
Speak no evil
Shh! don't speak it out loud
Don't dare say his name
If you utter those two words
Your life will never be the same
Everyone in the community knows the legend
And believes the folklore to be true
Six genertions have said Shh!
If you don't want it to happen to you
Mum's the word
The name is said in whispers or sometimes written down
With hearts crossed, hail Marys and prayers
To not dissapear and never be found
Or be frightened out of your wits
Once you summon and he obliges
Some say instant death comes
Before you even realize it
If you say his first and last name once
He shows up silently in the atmosphere
Should you repa the words twice
He is said to come very near
Silence is golden
Say the name three times
The spirit will surely appear
Once you see him your life could be over
In mere moments so you can't ever tell
That he frightened you to death
And dragged your soul to hell
Shh!! don't say his name out loud
Please don't utter it thrice
You don't want too find out if the legend is true
And pay such a terrible price
