Rougarou by Ted Mabbatt

Verse 1
Scattered bones,
Broken branches,
Up so high
Smell of pungent,
Stagnant stillness,
Fear surrounds

Verse 2
Red eyes glowing,
Swampy darkness,
Piercing soul.
Terror mounting,
Pulse is racing,
Frozen fear

Chorus 
So when the Rougarou,
comes for you,
don’t look him in the eye. 
‘Cause he will steal your soul,
Smoke your last bowl,
Might even steal your wife. 

Verse 3
Am I dreaming,
can’t be happening,
he’s disappeared! 
Rougarou, where are you?
Only in my mind?
In my mind, in my mind

Bridge
Stumbling through the darkness,
Breath choked tight.
See my face in the shimmering wetness,
Who is staring back at me??

My eyes glow red, my fangs snarl beastly,
This can’t be happening!
I search to the skies, the moon smiles down,
In it’s fullest glee.

A "drum off" that I recorded in parts. There is my Elarabi fish skin sombati, GEF tabla, and a riq too. I played all the parts.

Darbuka Blues

Recorded using GarageBand. The drums and riqq are real, the strings (ouds) are built-in loops for a melody line. The solo sequences were taught to us at Frank Lazzaro's class.
