Ladies and gentlemen, gather round
Lend me your ears and quiet down
We're about to depart, we're about to make way
Down a long, gloomy road being beaten by rain
For what you will see is quite hard to explain
And if you don't listen, you'll sure miss the train
You have come from afar and from near to arrive
At this humble abode to alter your mind
To waste away time and pretend you're alive
Before you return to reality time
You think you can come and then leave as you please
But the truth is you’ve lost it and can’t even see
But Darlings, don’t worry, you can trust me
Soon will appear a being from beyond
A man with whom I know you all share a bond
He revs and he reaches out from the shadows
And grabs onto souls who’ve forgotten what matters
He takes them away, never home can they turn
Despite all my efforts, nobody will learn
There is a man, scruffy face, massive hands, he wanders the forest at dusk
Black visor for eyes, zero face and surprise! He’s following you and your musk
Mischievous thing, stealing souls on a whim, haunting the people of town
He follows so close that you don’t even notice he plots to turn worlds upside down
He’s silent as fog and he loves playing god without any form of consent
He comes up so fast that the air turns to gas and you start to choke on your breath
You turn to run but he's quick as a gun...you’re fucked!
I can feel him back there as he lurks in the shadows
He waits for your invite to burst from the gallows
To swallow you up like a bird never born
Disappear in the night, no corpse to mourn
Welcome to the dark with that Hallow’s Eve spark
The heavy complacency leaving its mark
Is growing and holding you frozen in place
Never before have you felt away waste
The time you so cherish that makes life so great
Sometimes, we grow spite for the path that is set
Run into the forest on a foolhardy bet
Hoping our call will be answered with pleasure
All the while feeling death twisting its tether
And in that moment, you’ll know you have lost
Some things that for which you have frightfully fought
Your thoughts and your dreams and your senses in all
The truth is they're all crashing down as we fall
As one possessed family into the dark
This is most important, I beg you all...hark!
Return to the sunlight that makes your brain hum
The smell of sweet perfume that makes your nose numb
That feeling of warmth when you take down good rum
Leave this cursed place, you should never have come
I know I am speaking of things you can’t fathom
You think that I’m crazy, my mind’s become maddened
But head me, I dare you, take to the tunnel!
Turn back now, escape this black funnel
Only I can see the path down you are going
Quit all your wanders, your questions, your roaming
You’re tossing your souls to the wind like a flake
You’re making the grandest and worstest mistake
Can’t you feel him? He’s coming! He’s racing your way!
I keep warning you run but relentless you stay
After this wild night, you will learn, you will see
Your thoughts will be taken away with he
To a trunk, in a tree, underneath where he sleeps
And he’ll open it only when his brain may need
To search for inspire and fire to feed
His restless desire to squire a seed
Deep in your chest, in your veins, where you bleed
Darlings, please, trust me
Follow me now and return to the light
Or stay in this Hell and dissolve out of sight
Reliving this second and knowing how right
I was when I told you to sprint from the night
