The Banshee's Bad Bargain (Verse 1 - Miranda Noor) A banshee, fair and oh so green, Had a deal with a lad, quite unseen. For a love, a glance, a whispered word, He'd trade a prize, something absurd. (Verse 2 - Miranda Noor) A shiny pot, filled to the brim, With gold so bright, it shimmered and spun. But the catch? He'd sing her song all day, A tune so loud, no one could stray. (Verse 3 - Miranda Noor) The lad agreed, with a joyful grin, Not thinking this, this was a sin. He grasped the pot, with a greedy eye, And sang for days, beneath the sky. (Verse 4 - Female Vocal 2) The neighbours complained, their ears did ache, The horses bolted, and the cows did break. The village dogs, they howled with glee, As the lad's song filled the countryside. (Verse 5 - Miranda Noor) The banshee laughed, a wicked sound, Her work was done, it was all around. "You've lost your sense, young fellow," she said, A smile she shared, as he felt dead. (Verse 6 - Female Vocal 2) His precious pot, filled with the gold, Now seemed just trash, a story told. He learned a lesson, with a groan, That sometimes haste, brings such a moan. (Verse 7 - Miranda Noor) A clever mage, with eyes so keen, Came forth and cured this sorry scene. With a simple charm, and a mystic plea, The song stopped, and peace came free. (Verse 8 - Female Vocal 2) The lad, now wiser, took the tune, And turned its music, to a love-filled moon. He shared his song, with careful thought, A gentle tune, no one was caught. (Verse 9 - Miranda Noor) The banshee smiled, a pleased accord, Appreciating the change in word. He learned his lesson, and the prize was won, A heart of gold, had just begun. (Outro - both female vocals) So be cautious, and think before you act, A lesson learned, it will never backtrack. For haste and greed, may lead to woe, And true treasures, take a longer flow.
