[Intro] (Crackling vinyl. Distant music box.) Shhh... Don't follow that pendulum...Don't follow it... Don't—fall—asleep... [Verse 1] Moonlight drippin' through the mist like a spectral incision. Silent little village trapped inside a collective vision. Every window left open, every resident missin'... Only footprints in the dust and a night stalker on a mission. Yellow silhouette swayin' through the fog with sinister intention. Pendulum oscillation, the key to its greatest invention. Hypnotized minds in the grip of neurological possession... Gonna see what's on your mind cause it don't like to be left guessin'. Slow spiral...gold dial...cold smile...just gonna rest my eyes for awhile... Caught in the grip of a swaying circle, Hypno perfected this vile style. Eyes lock for a second and your whole world collapses within. Thoughts fold like origami, every memory you had, now his to spin. Like a choir of forgotten names hummin' for the dearly departed. While a sleep demon rips through all the secrets you kept guarded. Got the town hearin' lullabies nobody remembers being heard. Breath slowin' to the rhythm of a song bereft of any spoken word. Watchin' shadows crawl across dimensions with blinding haste. No matter how fast my mind raced, that speed was all a waste. And the clock tower stopped at a quarter past never... As the dream demon binds our minds together forever. --- [Hook] Swing...swing...don't follow it's golden ring. Mesmerize, hypnotize, nightmares he bring. Drifting...sinking...now you're losing your ability to think. Gotten imprisoned by the Hypno lullaby before you can blink. Try not to close your eyes...once you do you become it's prize. Floating through darkness in a realm where every dream dies. Nobody screams...nobody runs...nobody left to ask where you've been. They're all lost within sleep...forever trapped never to ever wake up again. --- [Verse 2] Labyrinthine landscapes made of fractured recollections. Architectural nightmares fused in abstract misdirections. Every door leads backwards to another dead end ahead. Every exit births a thousand darkened corridors instead. See Drowzee sketchin' demented designs in the ethereal void. A Mismagius sings of evil things only wicked fiends enjoyed. Just saw Darkrai lurk not quite corporeal amongst the murk. Maybe it's Hypno manifesting fear...even in darkness I see it's smirk. In this realm all is his to bend...constant torment without end. In this vast abyss imagination and reality are forced to blend. Do you know how long an eternity may truly be? Imagine forever then multiply that by infinity. Old memories molt their skin and conform to Hypnos sin. And every whispered hope only leads to a deeper hell within. Legend has it when he steals your soul he pulls with it the memory of you. Even your mother lost any clue of the who that's you like she never truly knew. But don't dwell on that for long it won't make any torment fade. Just run for your life forever more in the nightmare Hypno made. --- [Hook] Swing...swing...don't follow it's golden ring. Mesmerize, hypnotize, nightmares he bring. Drifting...sinking...now you're losing your ability to think. Gotten imprisoned by the Hypno lullaby before you can blink. Try not to close your eyes...once you do you become it's prize. Floating through darkness in a realm where every dream dies. Nobody screams...nobody runs...nobody left to ask where you've been. They're all lost within sleep...forever trapped never to wake up again. --- [Outro] If you notice someone in shadows stalk... Perhaps fear you hear the darkness talk... It's already too late to hide...pointless if you even tried... Chances are Hypno already has you trapped inside. If you find yourself getting sleepy... or can't shake the feeling of something creepy... The realm where Hypno reaps the souls whom weep... Gambling with those he stole and they're his to keep... No escape, you might as well kiss all hope goodbye... Cause now you're stuck unable to die...in Hypnos lullaby.
