Duppy inna de Swamp (Der Knabe im Moor)

[Intro: Heavy tropical thunderstorm, mud squelching, a distant police siren] [Shout: "Caution! Dem Spirits out tonight... Run, likkle youth!"] [Beat: Dark, aggressive Afro-Drill - Sliding bass, sharp metallic snares] [Verse 1: Narrator - Deep, ominous flow] It’s a nightmare, walkin' through de swamp, Where de air is thick and de ground is damp. De reeds dem a hiss like a thousand snakes, One wrong move is de last yuh makes. De earth a groan, it want yuh soul, Suckin' yuh down inna de mud-filled hole. [Drop: Bass slides like sinking feet, "Ghost" vocal chops] [Verse 2: The Entities - Glitchy, distorted voices] Him see de **Peat-Wraith** (Heidemann) inna de haze, Lost inna de fog, inna de mental maze. De **Gravedigger-Ghoul** (Gräberknecht) a rise from de muck, If him catch yuh boy, yuh run out of luck! Him see de **Ghost-Fiddler** (Fiedler Knauf) onna de stone, Playin' a riddim fe yuh break yuh bone. [Chorus: Melodic Hook - Autotune, eerie vibe] O it’s scary, yeah, it’s cold and dark, When de Swamp-Kings leave dem mark. Don't let de **Shadow-Man** grab yuh feet, Run till yuh reach de concrete street! [Verse 3: The Chase - High energy, double-time] Zisch! Like a flare, de **Willo-the-Wisp** (Irrlicht) a glow, Leadinn' yuh where de deep waters flow. Jump over de roots! Dodge de dead tree! Prayin' to de Spirit fe set yuh free. Him heart a thump like a kick-drum beat, Feel de heat of de town, feel de solid street! [Bridge: Sudden silence, just a heartbeat and a ticking clock] [Whisper]: "Him reach de gate... him safe... him home." [Outro: Slow, distorted 808s fading into the wind] No more Wraiths, no more Ghouls inna de night, But him never gonna forget dat swamp-land fright. [Sound: A heavy iron bolt locking] [End]
