[Intro]
[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

[Verse 1]

Trekking and trudging 
Through an unknown wasteland 
Gators, leaches, and mosquitos
Lizards, snakes, and the occasional salamand

Why did you leave?
Where did you go?
What will I find?
Wherever I am to roam

[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

[Solo]
          [Pause]

[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

[Build up]
          [Verse 2]

She was swept by darkness 
She was swept by pain
It attached because it was in love 
Through the lightning and rain [pause] I ask

So why did you leave?
What did you do?
To embrace darkness, my love 
And where did the devil take you?

[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

[Chorus]

And I've always hoped as I prayed 
That you'd escape the darkness 
[Pause] 
Runaway, runaway 
Runaway

[Solo]
          [Pause]

[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

[Build up]
          [Verse 3]

I feel that she's close 
I can pick up her scent 
But is to late to for me
To perform this Say onts?

For I have come too far to let go 
And I have traveled through hell
To let the darkness take you 
From the love in which I cast the spell

[Chorus]

And I've always hoped as I prayed 
That you'd escape the darkness 
[Pause]
Runaway, runaway 
Runaway

[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

[Build up]
          [Verse 4]

I take out my book and flipped the page
I pursed my lips, took a deep breath to say 
[Shout] En prega matis defeatus, en too envo kay 
And then I saw her but 
[Pause]
She ran away, ran away 
Ran away

[Chorus]

And I've always hoped as I prayed 
That you'd escape the darkness 
[Pause]

And I've always hoped as I prayed 
That you'd escape the darkness 
[Pause]
Runaway, runaway 
Runaway

[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

Runaway, runaway, runaway

[Mysterious chants]
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah 
Oooh oooh oooh 
Oooh oooh waaaaaaah

Runaway, runaway 
[Pause]
Runaway

[End]
