[Verse] Out in the bayou the whispers creep A shadow moves where the waters sleep Eyes like embers in the pitch black night Teeth like daggers in the pale moonlight [Chorus] The Rougarou howls it tears through the trees It runs with the wind it bends to no pleas Blood on the bark fear in the air The Rougarou’s out better say your prayers [Verse 2] Cypress knees like claws from the ground The swamp don’t judge it just wraps you around A growl like thunder a flash of fur The Rougarou strikes and it leaves no blur [Prechorus] Is it a man or a beast or both combined It’s the curse of the wicked the lost and blind [Chorus] The Rougarou howls it tears through the trees It runs with the wind it bends to no pleas Blood on the bark fear in the air The Rougarou’s out better say your prayers [Bridge] They say don’t look if you hear it near Don’t break the spell or feed your fear Keep your heart steady keep your soul clean Or the Rougarou comes to haunt your dreams
