When the Barguest comes
When the Barguest comes
do not run for there is nowhere to run
do not hide for there is nowhere to hide.
It will come in the night
or in the darkest places of day
but it will come.
You may have called on the Barguest
even without knowing
or it may have been sent for you
either way it will find you.
It follows the scent of your soul
and tracks your fear.
Even in your sleep it follows you
turning your dreams into nightmares.
There can be no escape
you may avoid it for a while
but ultimately
the Barguest will find you
and when it does
stand firm
look into its eyes
bare the smell of its fetid breath
and pray.
Do not show your fear
control your thoughts
and if you are lucky
it may let you keep your soul.
