[Verse 1] Do you hear it now? The wind begins to howl Underneath, a low growl—you can't say it out loud Fear crawls in your chest, clouds gather in your mind Your soul slips out of reach, leaving you behind Can you feel the weight? Now you're just the bait For the monster waiting, patient at the gate It carries its own dark will, keeps the whole room still One step closer, one more chill [Chorus] Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp You hear a stomp, stomp Leather boots with steel beneath It wants to make you its next feast Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp You hear a stomp, stomp Hold your breath, don't make a sound It's coming closer, closing round [Verse 2] Metal sings on glass with a thin, high-pitched cry The specter makes another pass; you watch it drift by It will find you where you hide, though the door is tied Hope goes quiet, folds itself inside Try to breathe—your mouth is open wide No air arrives, no matter how you try and hide Try to scream, but nothing comes; your courage turns to dust When every bolt is shaking and the floorboards start to rust [Chorus] Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp You hear a stomp, stomp Leather boots with steel beneath It wants to make you its next feast Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp You hear a stomp, stomp Hold your breath, don't make a sound It's coming closer, closing round [Bridge] I'm the reaper, hear my hymn Some call me Grim; the lights go dim Hooded black, I cross the track You turn to ru-ru-run—don't look back But there is no hope; you're doomed And so your essence I consumed [Verse 3] Your limbs go weak; I close the gap No way through, no escape route map Soon your soul will belong to mine Still you search the dark for a sign But there's no door and no reprieve You know the truth; you can't believe The last small spark is swallowed whole And silence takes the final toll [Final Chorus] Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp You hear a stomp, stomp Leather boots with steel beneath It wants to make you its next feast Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp You hear a stomp, stomp Hold your breath, don't make a sound The reaper's here; closing round [Outro] Chomp, chomp- Chomp, chomp- You hear a stomp, stomp- Hooded clad in black, I'm on the attack You turn to ru-ru-run—don't look back
