Youghiogany Yapper

Lyrics

[Verse]
Down in the valley where the shadows creep
By the Youghiogany
Ancient secrets keep
A creature slithers
Whispers on the breeze
They call it the Yapper
Brings men to their knees

[Verse 2]
Eyes like embers
They pierce the darkest night
Scales like iron
A beast of blinding fright
Long had it dwelled
In waters still and cold
Stories of the Yapper
Fearsome tales retold

[Chorus]
Youghiogany Yapper
Hide if you can
He'll drag you to depths
Beyond where light spans
Ominous whispers
Echo in the mist
From dusk till the dawn
His terror persists

[Verse 3]
Fishermen vanished
Their boats found adrift
Echoes through the pines
A mournful
Eerie lift
Cousins tell tales of friends lost at sea
Ensnared by the Yapper’s merciless decree

[Bridge]
In moon’s pale glow
You can hear him prowl
A low hissing hum
Like a wolfish howl
Children hush tales 'round the firelight’s gleam
Of the Yapper's menace
Woven into a dream

[Verse 4]
Closer it slithers
Its breath fogs the air
Teeth like old gravestones
Isn’t life unfair?
When the river’s silent
And crickets cease to chirp
Know the Yapper’s hunting
Prey’s final yelp is sharp
