[Verse 1] Mary had recently retired At work she was the oldest She pulled the trigger and fired Playing games that was a twist Bored with the same old thing She has been coding [Verse 2] When at the door a knock "May I come in" a voice asks The door cam has her rocked At the door must be a mask The eyes are holes no glimmer On its face was a Grinner [chorus] Mary at home Tablet in hand knock at the door It wasn't a man What are you to do When hate comes for you [Bridge] In the dark of night There are things to fight Birthed from our fear Stay, follow, Fight, Flight Our weakness it preys Wanting us to stay [Verse 3] Mary looked, heard it shuffle Shadows creeped, light rays The man wanting a scuffle "You will let me in" it says Getting the phone she calls Emergency says it all [Dark piano solo 15 seconds] [Verse 4] Dispatcher "we are on our way" Voice at the door "Oh getting help, you shall pay" Mary tells "You better go" "They are coming for you" Dark voice "It won't be in time" [Bridge] In the dark of night There are things to fight Birthed from our fear Stay, follow, Fight, Flight Our weakness it preys Wanting us to stay [chorus] Mary at home Tablet in hand knock at the door It wasn't a man What are you to do When hate comes for you [Verse 5] Mary scrambles upstairs Glass shatters what pane In closet, monster unawares Mary's courage is drained Thoroughly it searches Mary on the phone perches [Verse 6] Outside sirens wail An end to our tail Red and blue on the wall Monster climbs the steps Mary's fear calls The monster in view [Fading bass guitar outro] [catchy solo bass guitar fade intro] [Bridge] In the dark of night There are things to fight Birthed from our fear Stay, follow, Fight, Flight Our weakness it preys Wanting us to stay [Verse 7] Mary scared on phone Monster at the closet Voice from below firm tone Monster runs loses it Raging crash and clash [Verse 8] Voice on the phone "Are you okay, safe" Mary says in a broken tone "The officer is here, I'm safe" "Don't move, stay still" "It's a deal" [chorus] Mary at home Tablet in hand knock at the door It wasn't a man What are you to do When hate comes for you [Dark piano fading outro] [End]
