[Intro - Multiple distant whispers] Over here... We can see you... Come closer... [Verse 1 - Quiet, threatening] There's a path beyond the clearing, Where the sunlight never falls. And the wind through ancient branches Sounds like something when it calls. There's a voice that sounds familiar, There's a face between the trees. There's a hand upon your shoulder, But there's nobody to see. [Pre-Chorus - Mechanical drums enter] One step forward, Two steps back. Something's moving Off the track. Hear it breathing, Feel it near. Something's feeding ON YOUR FEAR! [Chorus - Explosive distorted guitars] DON'T FOLLOW THE VOICES! DON'T ANSWER THEIR CALL! THEY'RE HIDING IN THE SHADOWS, THEY'RE WAITING FOR YOU TO FALL! DON'T FOLLOW THE VOICES! DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY! THE DEAD DON'T NEED DIRECTIONS, BUT THEY'LL GLADLY LEAD THE WAY! [Verse 2] There's a little girl who's singing Somewhere underneath the ground. And a hundred empty faces Turn to listen to the sound. Every tree becomes a doorway, Every shadow wears your skin. And the voice that whispers softly Is the voice you hear within. [Bridge - Rhythmic spoken chant] RUN! Don't look back! RUN! Stay on track! RUN! They're getting near! RUN! THEY'RE ALREADY HERE! [Breakdown - Half-time, crushing guitars] THEY KNOW YOUR NAME! THEY KNOW YOUR FACE! THEY KNOW THE SOUND OF YOUR HEARTBEAT'S PACE! [Final Chorus] DON'T FOLLOW THE VOICES! DON'T ANSWER THEIR CALL! THE FOREST HAS NO MERCY, AND THE DARKNESS WANTS IT ALL! [Outro - Music stops] [One whisper, directly behind the listener] Why are you running? We're already home.
