My feet are so sore
I have walked for a long time
My feet are so sore
The darkness has closed in and the wind is harsh
My feet are so sore
Light, Lantern Man, light. Show me the way - I'll find the treasure
My feet are so sore
Inspired by this Danish folksong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrh2HCz34QQ&feature=plcp
The song is about a person who is looking for a treasure but runs into a Lantern Man, a creature said to cause the flames in bogs at night. The person chase the Lantern Man until his back is hurting and his head is spinning, but still he can't stop and forgets his name. All he remember is that he's looking for a treasure, and he ends up wandering around the bog forever.

In Sweden we have a similar lore about a man called lantern man, but he shows up at night and convience people on the roads that he will guide them to whatever their destination is. Then he misleads them into the wilderness and leave them for death.
