[intro] Out in the field where the cold winds blow Stands a lonely little scarecrow Painted smile but a heart sunk low Crows circling like a midnight show [verse 1] They perch on his shoulders and laugh in his face Mocking his stance and his empty place He feels so small in the wide dark space Just a straw filled frame with no strength to chase [pre chorus] Every jeer cuts deep like a rusted blade Every laugh reminds him how he’s been played He bows his head in the autumn shade Feeling insignificant and so afraid [chorus] Scarecrow of the damned Broken where he stands Crows dancing on his hands He’s lost in the haunted lands Scarecrow of the damned Heart sinking in the sand But a whisper in the night commands Let me in and take your stand [verse 2] A voice crawls up from the dirt below A demon whispering soft and slow Says let me in and you’ll finally glow You’ll scare the crows like you’re meant to show [pre chorus 2] He doesn’t know better he’s tired and weak He wants the power that he cannot seek So he opens his chest with a desperate streak And the demon slips in with a wicked shriek [bridge] Tendrils rising from his straw filled spine Eyes glowing red with a burning sign Rage and hate in a twisted design He feels the demon fully align [chorus] Scarecrow of the damned No longer just a stand Straw slicing like a brand Crows falling where they land Scarecrow of the damned Fueled by a demon’s hand Dripping with the ones who planned To mock him when they could have been grand [final chorus] Scarecrow of the damned He finally takes command No more feeling small and canned He rises through the haunted land Scarecrow of the damned They should have let him stand How dare they trick instead of understand Now the demon rules the strand [outro] Lonely no more in the midnight glow But the price was steep for the scarecrow
