Sceadugenga, Sceadugenga slipping through the trees
Insidious and dangerous, it willl bring you to your knees
Hiding in plain sight, their true nature you cannot see
Sceadugenga, Sceadugenga it is deaf to your pleas

Shadow-stalker, shadow-stalker watching your every move
Seizing, twisting all your words so that it will never lose
Backing you in a corner with allegations it can never prove
Shadow-stalker, shadow-stalker no fool sees through their ruse

Dark-lover, dark-lover it opens its gaping maw
Attacking all your loved ones it leaves you bruised and raw
Promising such riches has left them wanting more
Dark-lover, dark-lover it has left their hāma poor

Sceadugenga, Sceadugenga of you we have no fear
Harken to the Old Ways and Sunne’s light is ever near
Banish all those shadows and wipe away your tears
Sceadugenga, Sceadugenga there’s nothing for you here
