The Walker in the Woods

[Verse 1] Late check-in at the ranger’s shack Map on the wall All the trails marked black “Stay near the road” Old woman said “It stalks when the sky turns red” [Chorus] The Walker in the Woods I can hear it followin' I ain't never seen its face Heavy footsteps it's only trace A sound out of place If you run It'll meet you there If you pray don't despair It'll be listenin' to your fear The Walker in the Woods Follows in twilight Knows these lands Day or night [Verse 2] Our Fire burnt low Friends talkin' brave Drinkin' booze and havin' snacks No one noticed 'cept me Who's missin'? Where's Tiffany Footsteps follow in the night We set out at first light [Chorus] The Walker in the Woods I can hear it followin' I ain't never seen its face Heavy footsteps it's only trace A sound out of place If you run It'll meet you there If you pray don't despair It'll be listenin' to your fear The Walker in the Woods Follows in twilight Knows these lands Day or night [Bridge] [Heavy Bass Footsteps] [Stomp] ... [Stomp] ... [Stomp] ... [low vocal register] Half a mile from the parkin' lot Heavy fog and the smell of rot Footfalls follow in the mornin' light Goin' for help from our campsite I can still hear it followin' Up ahead I fear it's waitin' When we started my friends numbered five Somehow only I made it out alive I can't remember which way we went But one by one they were absent Now I'm home free and clear But just outside I can still hear The Walker in the Woods [Chorus] The Walker in the Woods I can hear it followin' I ain't never seen its face Heavy footsteps it's only trace A sound out of place If you run It'll meet you there If you pray don't despair It'll be listenin' to your fear The Walker in the Woods Follows in twilight Knows these lands Day or night [Outro] I thought I made it I thought I survived Now I feel The truth it hides The woods they call I feel it in my soul [Monstrous Voice Distortion] I'll see you on the trail [Radio Glitch] ... [Static Hiss] ... [Record Scratch] ... [Eerie Laughter] It's time I took [Crickets Chirping] ... [Heavy Footsteps] a final walk... [Nighttime Forest Sounds trailing off to silence]
