Song History
The evil creatures of Bren represent the things we fear in life. The good creatures represent the things we enjoy and welcome as blessings. We can either be cowered by our fear and accomplish nothing or we can face our fears and conquer them and use them as stepping stones to greater joy and enjoyment in life. As a boy, my brothers and cousins spent hours roaming the countryside around our farm – at night! Playing spotlight was a common game. I remember running and hiding and hoping I could find the best hiding place. Often, I found just the right place and could wait for several minutes before the person who was ‘it’ would give up and begin calling out, “Make a noise or I quit!” But at other times, when my hiding place was impenetrable, I found myself alone for quite sometime. Realizing they had given up on finding me, they would stop looking! And the aloneness in that moment of realization sent my mind into panic mode as thoughts of demons and creatures and deviant wild men caused me to set out running through the darkness toward home, chased by unseen creatures. I learned to conquer those fears by facing the truth. There were no creatures there and no one meant me any harm. The older I got, the more I was able to make myself calm down and actually walk casually toward home. Castle Aerie represents home or a secure place. By placing our hope and finding a home in what is true, we alleviate and conquer our fears. Use fear as a motivation to finding the truth…and make your home in that place.

Verse
Ogres and werewolves and Terrebithians
Hawken and Wolfen and Treesant
Myriad creatures inhabiting Bren
Some of the dark some of light
Swine rats and demons
A unicorn or two
Dragons and various fiends
Myriad creatures inhabiting Bren
Some of the day
Some of night
Chorus
Better watch out!
Better watch out when you pass through
Forest or valley!
Whatever you do!
Better watch out!
Better watch whatever you do!
Better be watching, but who’s watching who?
Better be watching, but who’s watching who?
Verse
Witches and warlocks and men of every race
With just a thin veil in between them
Darkness has no place to go in the light
But always there hiding its face!
Chorus
Better watch out!
Better watch out when you pass through
Forest or valley!
Whatever you do!
Better watch out!
Better watch whatever you do!
Better be watching, but who’s watching who?
Better be watching, but who’s watching who?
Bridge
Tale as old as time!
Day at war with night!
Tale as old as time!
Dark at war with light!
Chorus
Better watch out!
Better watch out when you pass through
Forest or valley!
Whatever you do!
Better watch out!
Better watch whatever you do!
Better be watching, but who’s watching who?
Better be watching, but who’s watching who?
