Rake in the Dark

🎤 “Rake in the Dark” (Intro) Yeah… Midnight breath, moon look pale Something in the woods leavin’ marks on the trail (Verse 1) Out past the porch where the streetlights break People whisper low ’bout a monster called the Rake Skin like bone, eyes hollow black When the wind go quiet, that’s when he attack Crawlin’ through the trees where the shadows stay Hear a scratch on the window in the dead of the day Not a wolf, not a man, not a ghost you can shake Just a nightmare breathin’ — yeah they call it the Rake (Hook) In the dark, in the night, hear the leaves all shake Better lock your door when you dream of the Rake Footsteps creep when the world asleep And the silence scream when the shadows speak In the dark, in the night, hear the cold wind wake Better watch your back when you hear that scrape Moonlight pale and the ground might break When the forest start whisperin’ “The Rake… The Rake…” (Verse 2) Campfire stories where the kids sit still Grandma say “that thing ain’t human, child, it kill” Seen it in the fields with a crooked back bend Like a broken soul that ain’t never been a friend Claws on the dirt like it huntin’ your name Eyes glow white like a fever in the brain No chain hold tight, no cage gonna take What was born in the dark — that beast called the Rake (Hook) In the dark, in the night, hear the leaves all shake Better lock your door when you dream of the Rake… (Outro) So if the woods go silent and the dogs don’t bark And the moon look wrong in the middle of the dark Don’t look twice when the branches break… Just pray you never meet… the Rake.
