Pleasant Row - Brown Word and the Big Whine
SpoilerA fairly obvious approach. You get tired of the fast-pace of die Stadt and trade it for die Kultismus des Landes.

I showed here up in my moving van
Looking for relief from the Sturm and Drang
The city's full of toils and troubles
But something is off in this countryside bubble

The village they call Pleasant Row
A place for good people, that's all you need to know
Pretty glass houses trimmed out well
Every citizen is a shining example

Pleasant Row so nice and tidy
Kind of makes you wonder what the neighbors are hiding

Come nightfall they don their cloaks
The woods fill with ceremonial smoke
Sacrifice brought before the convocation
Chant the sacred invocation

The village they call Pleasant Row
A place for good people, that's all you need to know
Pretty glass houses trimmed out well
Visit after dark they'll make you part of the ritual

Guest:
Spart am Werk nicht Fleiß noch Mühe,
Feuer sprühe, Kessel glühe!
Sumpf'ger Schlange Schweif und Kopf
Brat' und koch' im Zaubertopf:
Molchesaug' und Unkenzehe,
Hundemaul und Hirn der Krähe;
Zäher Saft des Bilsenkrauts,
Eidechsbein und Flaum vom Kauz:
Mächt'ger Zauber würzt die Brühe,
Höllenbrei im Kessel glühe!
Spart am Werk nicht Fleiß noch Mühe,
Feuer sprühe, Kessel glühe!
*(Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.)*

Now I'm running down a country lane
Middle of the night, don't know where I am
Somewhere I must've gone astray
The folks with the pitchforks wanna have their say
Pleasant Row so nice and tidy
You don't want to know what the neighbors are hiding

The village they call Pleasant Row
A place for good people, that's all you need to know
Pretty glass houses trimmed just right
Step out of line they'll put your head on a pike

Pleasant Row so nice and tidy
You don't want to know what the neighbors are hiding

Guest:
Wolfeszahn und Kamm des Drachen,
Hexenmumie, Gaum' und Rachen
Aus des Haifisch scharfem Schlund;
Schierlingswurz aus finsterm Grund
*(Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark)*

I like the guitars. Good story. Good implementation of the challenge. Didn't do much for me, though.
