Lyrics
I've always had a fascination with the creepy darkest things in our world from a very young age. As a kid I drew monsters in the margins and came up with creepy tales to tell around campfires in the woods out back. I got good at it, so much so that my family had to intervene and tell me to stop making up scary stories as it was keeping my other younger family members up at night. This song is a tribute the very first scary story and monster admittedly my demented child mind made up: "The Gromph"
Intro
HmmmmHmm Hmmmm
(HmmmmHmm Hmmmm)
HmmmmHmm Hmmmm
Gather round
Listen well
I come with warning
and a tale to tell
Verse
In the mist of egypt
So, so long ago
Lived a witch-man
Who had an ego
He made a deal with alien gods
To outwit death and beat the odds
Chorus
Oh best beware
Have a care
The Gromph is coming
Listen
I'm warning you
whatever you do
Do not stare
In his eyes
If you dare
He'll fill you with lies
he'll take your mind
He'll take your soul
To a place of gray
they'll never find
Verse
But the price was heavy
And a secret affair
For the world was rent open
and a thing came through
Through the tare
Chorus]
Oh best beware
Have a care
The Gromph is coming
Listen
I'm warning you
whatever you do
Do not stare
In his eyes
If you dare
He'll fill you with lies
he'll take your mind
He'll take your soul
To a place of gray
they'll never find
Verse
It would come in the night
To the ones alone
When the time was right
the world still as stone
With a needle mouth
and fearsome eyes
He'll eat your memories
and replace them with lies
Chorus]
Oh best beware
Have a care
The Gromph is coming
Listen
I'm warning you
whatever you do
Do not stare
In his eyes
If you dare
He'll fill you with lies
he'll take your mind
He'll take your soul
To a place of gray
they'll never find
Verse
Millennia pass, and folks forget
Where the evil wanders
And ill strangers met
Hell take your dreams
And sadness too
He'll take from your family
So they forget you too
Chorus]
Oh best beware
Have a care
The Gromph is coming
Listen
I'm warning you
whatever you do
Do not stare
In his eyes
If you dare
He'll fill you with lies
he'll take your mind
He'll take your soul
To a place of gray
they'll never find
Verse
And what will you left
When your you in misty woods
and your mind bereft
But fading visions
Of a home you once knew
And of a time it knew you too
Outro
Oh best beware
Have a care
The Gromph is coming
I warn you
Do not stare
Oh best beware
Have a care
The Gromph is coming
I warn you
Do not stare
Best Beware!
