There in the forest, where the shadows sway
Lingers black annis, closing on her pray
Hands shaped like talons, eyes of smoldering coal
Haunting our nightmares, where she eats them whole

Lock up your windows, hide away your babes
Annis is lurking for a child to take
Beware her whispers, luring them to come
Into her oak tree, donned in bone and blood

Run, run, here she comes
Black annis, here she comes
Hide your daughters and your sons
Black annis comes
