He Who Walks Behind

V6

[Intro: whispered child voices, corn rustling, sudden distorted scream] They been waitin’ in the stalks since the last harvest… HE WALKS BEHIND YOU! [Verse 1: low aggressive horrorcore rap, building dread, subtle music box] Rows stretch forever, sun bleed red on the dirt Isaac standin’ on the altar, voice crackin’ like it hurt “Outlanders die for the one who never shows his face” Malachi creepin’ low, sickle gleamin’ in the haze Kids move silent, bare feet never leave a track One second you alone, next one got a blade in your back Corn whisperin’ secrets, stalks closin’ like a cage You run and the field rearranges, lost on every page They ain’t playin’ games, this a sacrifice in the dark Little hands draggin’ bodies where the black birds mark [Chorus: half-time trap, sudden jump-scare slam with scream and bass drop] Jump scare in the rows (SCREAM) They comin’ for your bones (blade swipe) He who walks behind, drag you where nobody goes Children of the Corn got the night locked in a choke (silence then distorted kid voice) GET OUT OF THE CORN! [Verse 2: darker, more intense rap, increasing paranoia] Night drop heavy, only sound is the corn talkin’ back You swear you saw a face then it vanish in the black Blood on the leaves, adult shoes left sittin’ by the road They don’t need parents, they just need the fields to grow Isaac preach the gospel of the one who walks unseen Malachi collect the bodies, keep the rows clean You trip on a root that wasn’t there a second ago Little girl with the doll, eyes black, tell you “time to go” Field close in, no exit, no sky, no sound Just the crunch of stalks and the blade when they surround One last breath, you hear it right behind your ear He been walkin’ with you this whole time… NOW HE’S HERE [Outro: fading corn rustle, distant sickle, heavy breathing, final distorted whisper] Corn keep growin’… Kids keep watchin’… He who walks behind the rows… never left.
