lyrics

Deep in the shadows lurks a presence so foul
whose name you may heard whispered before
He's the reason for the shivers up the spines of grown men
when skies are dark and there are creaks from the door
His blood red eyes are shrouded by the hat that he wears
a tattered cloak, his mangled body beneath
He wears a long black scarf to hide his cavernous mouth
and bits of flesh caught in his razor sharp teeth

So hold your loved ones tight
the moon is shining bright
Cucuy comes tonight

He preys on sleeping children lying in their beds
and drags their bodies into the night
Cucuy hacks at the throats to silence would-be screams
removes their clothes before he takes his first bite
the corpses are devoured 'til there's nothing left
no bones remain for vultures to pick
The only thing that El Cucuy leaves behind
is their severed flaming head on a stick

Cross your heart and bar the door
Pray to your god with your knees on the floor
Douse the lamps and close your eyes
What happens next should be no surprise

She was taken from the comfort and the warmth of her bed
her body taken into the night
Cucuy hacked at her throat to silence would-be screams
removed her clothes before he took his first bite
Her corpse was devoured, there was nothing left
No bones remained for vultures to pick
The only thing that El Cucuy left behind
was her severed flaming head on a stick
