🌾 "The Strawman’s Curse" is a spine-chilling dark ambient folk song that blends haunting melodies with industrial horror sounds to tell the terrifying legend of a cursed scarecrow. Drawing from European and American folklore, the song recounts the story of a scarecrow brought to life by a desperate farmer’s forbidden ritual. But the scarecrow, possessed by a malevolent spirit, doesn’t just guard the crops—it hunts, kills, and drags its victims into the fields, where they are found hollowed out, their souls stolen.
With eerie acoustic strings, creaking industrial sounds, and haunting whispered vocals, the song builds an atmosphere of escalating dread. The strawman’s curse comes alive in every verse, as listeners are drawn deeper into a world where ancient magic gives birth to terror.
Set in a forgotten 19th-century farming village, "The Strawman’s Curse" evokes the fear of something watching from the fields, waiting to strike. The scarecrow’s tattered body, glowing eyes, and cursed existence make it the ultimate predator, hunting anyone who wanders too close to the fields after dark.

🎶 Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Straw and bone beneath the moon,
He stirs when crops are ripe to ruin.
Eyes sewn shut, yet still they see,
The curse that walks eternally.
(Chorus)
The strawman comes, on winds so cold,
With twisted limbs and heart of mold.
No prayers can keep him far away,
He'll find you before the break of day.
(Verse 2)
His hands once made to scare the crow,
Now reach for flesh, for blood to flow.
In fields of wheat, you hear him tread,
The strawman walks, and all are dead.
(Bridge)
Through furrowed land, the whispers grow,
The spell was cast, the seeds they sow.
To breathe in life where none should be,
The strawman's curse, your destiny.
(Chorus)
The strawman comes, on winds so cold,
With twisted limbs and heart of mold.
The night is long, the shadows creep,
He'll take your soul before you sleep.
(Verse 3)
In farmer’s fields where secrets lie,
The crows take flight, the children cry.
The scarecrow stirs, his time begun,
