lyrics

In a hidden cove, near a rocky beach
Down a secret stair, there’s a meeting place

In a summer night, when the tide is low
You can find your way, but don’t leave a trace

There’s a roasting pig, and an open keg
And a vagabond with an upright bass

Then the mandolin and the drums join in
But there’s something off in the fiddler’s face
Don’t forget to bring a friend, if you’re planning to attend
When the night is at an end, you’ll be glad you have a friend

It’s a lovely night for a summer feast
You can bring the knife, I can bring the beast
When the tide comes in, it’s a perfect night
And the moon hangs above, and it’s great and white

Then the tide gets high and the crowd does too
But the light goes out and the room is dark

From the fiddler’s face, shining teeth erupt
And he grins with the mouth of a hungry shark

Then a woman screams and the fiddler bites
And his jaws sink in and they leave their mark

The blood hits the floor, guests run for the door
As the hosts attack and the real feast starts

Don’t forget to bring a friend, if you’re planning to attend
When the night is at an end, you’ll be glad you had a friend

It’s a lovely night for a summer feast
You can bring the knife, I can be the beast
When the tide goes out, it’s a perfect night
And the moon hangs above, and it’s great and white

When the sun came up seven human men
Walked out of the cove, stomachs full again
Then the tide washed out all the blood and beer
And the town is safe for another year
