[Intro – whispered, fog ambience, distant bells] (shhhh...) Can you hear it? That voice… in the fog... [Verse 1 – breathy whisper, close mic] (Hah-hah-hah-hah...) They're whispering. They know you're here. They know your name. And your thoughts. The path behind you is gone. The trees lean closer. Every step you take, they take too. [Pre-Chorus – slow build, heartbeat kick] (breathe... breathe...) Don't turn around. Never turn around. [Chorus – haunting choir pads, wide reverb] Ooooh… Too late... they're right behind you. Cold breath on your neck. Cold hands on your name. [Interlude – whisper layers, reversed sounds] (shhhh...) (they're counting...) [Verse 2 – whispered, darker] You wandered too far. But not by accident. You wanted this. This moment. This fear. The lantern flickers. Dies. Something hums your lullaby from a mouth you cannot see. [Pre-Chorus] (breathe... breathe...) Don't turn around. Never turn around. [Bridge – spoken word, low, almost silent] Count the footsteps. One... two... three... Yours stopped at two. So who is still walking? [Final Chorus – layered whispers, choir swell] Ooooh… Too late... they're right behind you. Cold breath on your neck. Cold hands on your name. Ooooh… They never leave. [Outro – whispered, fading into fog] Run... while you still can… ...or stay… with us. Forever. [Fade out – bells, drone, single heartbeat]
