[Verse 1]
Have you ever heard of the Tithing Man?
If nobody's told you yet, I think I can
He lurks out there between the trees
From darkest shadows, out he creeps
His lantern glintin' on sharpened teeth
Is probably the very last thing you'll see

[Verse 2]
Let me tell you something 'bout the Tithing Man
He'll make your goosebumps flap and dance
You'll hear him wail like a clarinet
Your bones will rattle like castanets
You'll beg and weep like violins
But it'll all just end in violence

[Verse 3]
Run if you happen on the Tithing Man
Tithed from that lantеrn in his crooked hand
If he sees you, find a tree
Whisper to it, "Lеave me be"
Whisper high and whisper low
'Cause only magic's gonna save your soul
