The Ballad of Squen & Cragg Lyrics
[Squen, spoken]
Ah, good day Lorwyn
[Moira, spoken]
It’s always day in Lorwyn, Squen
[Squen, spoken]
And it’s always a good one, Moira
Ooh, don’t mind if I do
[Verse 1: Squen, sung]
Grab my morning mug of muck from the Auntie
Hunt for treasures inside someone else’s bin
Squeeze some frogs in the bogs all around me
Just another day in Lorwyn
[Woman, spoken]
My baby!
[Verse 2: Cragg, sung]
Steal a baby or two from a kithkin
Then some raidings for an hour or four
Rip a heart from a venomous pigeon
Just another night in Shadowmoor
[Pre-Chorus: Cragg, Squen, Both]
But what bones do they crush?
What kind of breakfast mush?
Could I find out on that dark (Bright) other side
Other side, other side
[Snake, spoken]
Shred it, Cragg!
[Chorus: Both]
One light, one dark
Two worlds, a world apart
But somehow in our dreams we share the sky
[Verse 3: Cragg, Squen]
I’d run through fields where flowers bloom
And sniff them all to death
Then gaze straight into the sun
The air thick with chaotic doom, I’d brave the darkest depths feeling free
Anarchy’s so much fun!
[Chorus: Both]
One light, one dark
Two worlds, a world apart
But somehow in our dreams we share the sky
[Bridge: Cragg, Squen]
And I go higher and higher and higher
Lower and lower and lower
Higher and higher and higher (Lower and lower and lower)
(Into the night) Into the sky
[Chorus: Cragg, Squen, Both, Choir]
One light (One light), one dark (One dark)
Two worlds, a world apart (Two worlds, a world apart)
But somehow in our dreams we share the sky
Dark stars, (Dark stars), bright sun, (Bright sun)
Two halves undone
Until the day the two collide
[Outro: Cragg, Squen, Both]
Will the sun blind me or make me whole?
Will the dark consume or show my soul
And how will I ever see?
The other side of me
What if I never get to be
Completely me
[Moira, spoken]
That was beautiful, Squen
[Squen, spoken]
Thanks Moira
[Cragg, spoken]
Good night Shadowmoor
[Snake, spoken]
Cragg, it’s always night in Shadowmoor
[Cragg, spoken]
Shut up, Snake!

The Ballad of Squen & Cragg Lyrics Meaning
[Squen, spoken]
Squen happily greets the land where he lives.
[Moira, spoken]
Moira points out that the sun never sets here.
[Squen, spoken]
Squen agrees and happily decides to grab something tasty to eat while enjoying the constant sunlight of his home.
[Verse 1: Squen, sung]
Squen describes his daily routine, which involves drinking gross stuff, digging through garbage for hidden treasures, and messing with local wildlife. He finds these messy and strange activities to be a perfectly normal and fun way to spend his time in this bright and sunny world.
[Woman, spoken]
A mother shouts because someone took her child.
[Verse 2: Cragg, sung]
Cragg talks about his life in a much darker place where he kidnaps little ones and goes on long raids. He spends his time doing violent and creepy things like hunting dangerous birds, which is just his average experience living in the dark.
[Pre-Chorus: Cragg, Squen, Both]
Both characters start wondering what life is like for the person living in the opposite version of their world. They are curious about what the others eat and how they act, wishing they could experience the side that is either darker or brighter.
[Snake, spoken]
The snake encourages Cragg to play his music loudly.
[Chorus: Both]
Even though they live in two completely different versions of reality, one bright and one dark, they feel connected to each other through their dreams and the vast sky they both look at.
[Verse 3: Cragg, Squen]
The two imagine swapping places to experience total chaos. Squen wants to see the scary depths of the dark world, while Cragg wants to run through sunny fields and destroy flowers. They both think that living in a world of wild anarchy and total freedom sounds like a lot of fun.
[Chorus: Both]
They recognize that they are divided by light and shadow, yet they stay linked together because they share the same sky and see each other in their sleep, making the distant worlds feel much closer.
[Bridge: Cragg, Squen]
The singers describe a feeling of moving up toward the bright clouds and down into the deep shadows at the same time. They are trying to reach across the gap between the day and the night to find where their two different worlds finally meet each other.
[Chorus: Cragg, Squen, Both, Choir]
This highlights how the sunny world and the dark world are actually two parts of a single whole that have been pulled apart. They dream of a future where these opposite sides finally come back together. Until that big collision happens, the stars and the sun remain separated, leaving both characters feeling like they are only half of who they are supposed to be in the end.
[Outro: Cragg, Squen, Both]
They both wonder if meeting their other half will actually help them or just be too overwhelming to handle. They worry that they might never truly understand themselves or become a complete person if they never get the chance to see the side of their world that is currently hidden from them.
