The Jabberwocky
from Spencer Hosted by The Squence
9/5/24 updated with a real bass track instead of a midi one Based on the poem The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. Tried my best to not lift too much from the original. Lyrics: I recall what started the fight Skulking past, the homes at night To the wooded place where no one ever goes Through a deep crevasse that no one else could pass But the one who put it there So it goes --- Far from where our walls close The mimsy and the borogoves, open to the meadow in the wabe And the momewraths outgrabe --- Down a path that maps forgot Sheath your blade and stand in thought Tread lightly now, it stalks and must be fed But no one goes home tonight, not until that jabberwock is dead --- Jaws that bite claws that catch The very thing that makes me wretch Is all the souls, the kingsman failed to save And the momewraths outgrabe --- The tunnel opened to a darkened grove Far past the land of slithy toves Look sharp friend, for it's evercloser now It hears the quiver on your lip and salivates for the sweat upon your brow --- It won't listen to a word you say It can see you from a mile a way With eyes of fire, there's nowhere left to run But with vorpal sword in hand, its one two, it is done --- And hast thou slain the jabberwock Have you made sure it no longer stalks The tulgey wood, is where it's body lay And the momewraths outgrabe
