The Goblin Market

Come, come to the Goblin Market, dear,
Where shadows dance and whispers leer.
Under moonlight’s glow and willow’s sway,
The goblins gather in bright array.

Oh, silver coins and glistening eyes,
Where dreams are sold and bargains lie.
Step light, step wise, in the midnight glow,
For what you’ll find, you’ll never know.

They’ve wares of wonder, strange and old,
Jars of laughter, tears of gold.
Dreams bottled tight in crystal glass,
And memories of futures that may not pass.

Oh, silver coins and glistening eyes,
Where dreams are sold and bargains lie.
Step light, step wise, in the midnight glow,
For what you’ll find, you’ll never know.

The goblins chant in voices sweet,
With fruit so ripe and spice so neat.
A taste, a touch, they promise fair,
But the price is more than most can bear.

Oh, silver coins and glistening eyes,
Where dreams are sold and bargains lie.
Step light, step wise, in the midnight glow,
For what you’ll find, you’ll never know.

A lock of hair, a whispered name,
A memory faded, a flicker of flame.
Each coin you spend, each gift you share,
Binds tighter the goblin's snare.

So heed, heed well the warning's sound,
In Goblin Market, souls are bound.
Take what you need but pay no more,
Or find yourself lost forevermore.

Oh, silver coins and glistening eyes,
Where dreams are sold and bargains lie.
Step light, step wise, in the midnight glow,
For what you’ll find, you’ll never know.
