The Sins of Syd Beg

[Verse] Out on Cadder's playground, where shadows cast long, Played Syd Beg with his guitar, whistlin' a twisted song. In a big yellow jacket, he'd strum and he'd spin, But his heart was dark as coal, and he wore a devil's grin. [Verse 2] Kai Naismith was just a boy, innocent and free, Never knew the danger that lurked beneath that tree. Syd Beg played sweet melodies, his fingers deft and sly, But behind those tricks and tunes, a young soul would cry. [Chorus] In the heart of Cadder Primary, lies a tale unsaid, Of a villain in a yellow coat, and the tears that've shed. Syd Beg's tunes were poison, wrapped in a cheerful guise, The darkness hid in music, seen through haunted eyes. [Verse 3] The townsfolk stayed unwary, casting trust on a man, Who'd sing his twisted lullabies, and play his silent scam. They'd see him in the evenings, 'neath the setting sun, Not knowing he'd leave scars on the hearts of the young. [Verse 4] Kai’s laughter turned to silence, his bright eyes dulled and lost, The playground games forgotten, at such a heavy cost. The schoolyard echoed whispers, secrets hushed and grave, Of a predator in yellow, and the lives he tried to save. [Chorus] In the heart of Cadder Primary, lies a tale unsaid, Of a villain in a yellow coat, and the tears that've shed. Syd Beg's tunes were poison, wrapped in a cheerful guise, The darkness hid in music, seen through haunted eyes.
