[Intro] Shhhhhhh... Can you hear them breathing? Whisper... whisper... Don't look behind you... They're reaching... They're waiting... RUN... LOW FEMALE WHISPER One step... Two steps... Three steps... THEY KNOW YOU'RE HERE. [Verse 1] A thousand fingers scrape the walls Blackened branches, twisted halls Thorns are biting through the skin Something's waiting deep within Cold hands crawling through the night Grasping shadows, stealing light Every whisper calls my name Nothing here will be the same [Pre-Chorus] Closer... closer... hear them crawl Fingers scratching through the wall Closer... closer... don't you scream Wake me from this endless dream! [Chorus] HANDS IN THE DARK! REACHING FOR MY SOUL! PULL ME DOWN! BELOW THE WORLD! Thorns are tearing through the night I can see the dying light! HANDS IN THE DARK! NEVER LET ME GO! Screaming voices from below! NO ESCAPE! NO RETURN! LET THE BLACKENED CORRIDOR BURN! [Verse 2] There's a hand beneath my feet Something breathing when I breathe Eyes are hiding in the seams Something's crawling through my dreams Flesh and shadow, bone and thorn Every soul here was once born Now they reach with empty hands Trapped forever in this land [Bridge] One hand... Two hands... Ten thousand hands... THEY WANT YOUR NAME! Don't turn around... Don't make a sound... THEY'RE ALL AROUND YOU! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! [Chorus] GRAB MY FLESH! BREAK MY BONES! DRAG ME DOWN WHERE DARKNESS GROWS! NO MORE BREATH! NO MORE LIGHT! I AM LOST INSIDE THE NIGHT! [Bridge] Ooooooh... Aaaaaah... There's a light at the end of the hall... But the hands... They're reaching for it all... Ooooooh... Don't let me go... Aaaaaah... I'M NOT ALONE... [Chorus] HANDS IN THE DARK! REACHING FOR MY SOUL! PULL ME DOWN! BELOW THE WORLD! Every shadow, every scream Every nightmare, every dream! NO ESCAPE! NO RETURN! LET THE BLACKENED CORRIDOR BURN! [Outro] Footsteps... One... Two... Three... WHISPER, RIGHT BEHIND THE LISTENER You made it to the light... ... BUT WE CAME WITH YOU. ONE FINAL WET SCRATCH Hehehehe... END — DEAD SILENCE
