[intro]
Street lights on
Busy streets
It’s cold out here
Park bench wet
Drizzling rain
Dead end roads
Turn to black
Trees carve a tunnel
Like fingers entangled
[verse1]
A dark forest has a haunting effect (fading)
Noises very direct
Breaking branches (hair standing)
Rustling leaves
Foot steps in the dark (ghost lurking)
Voices under the breeze
Old Indians begging (please)
please Let me be
I need to rest (I need)
Somewhere to lay my head (please)
[chorus1]
Shadows peaking behind trees (lurking)
Walking on a trail
Being chased in the night (pitch black)
heard a deep raspy voice
It said (mmmmmhhhhmmmmm)
Why are you hear (you shouldn’t be)
This is my land
Stop taking food out of my hand (it’s mine)
I told him there’s nothing on this land
No house or fence (empty)
he said I’ve been here sense 1692
The nanticoke Indian man showed himself (Algonkian)
Sunken eyes, crooked smile, a sack of arrows (knocked)
And a bag of jerky
Hatchet in his hand (ready to chop)
Said are you here to join the damned
(Your here forever)
[dark flute solo]
[chorus]
Dead end roads
Turn to black
Trees carve a tunnel
Like fingers entangled
It’s dark on this sacred land
The air is heavy (I can’t breathe)
Wind is warm
Creeking trees (hair standing)
Curved stumps
Burial mounds (lost warriors)
Forgotten battles
The dark figures here
Yell to fallow (don’t go)
Don’t turn around stay on the path (turn around)
Don’t turn around stay on the path (turn around)
Find the light run if it’s in sight (run)
Its a dark night (dark night)
Hhhhmmmmm yyyeeeeaaaa
[verse2]
A dark forest has a haunting effect
Noises very direct
Breaking branches
Rustling leaves
Foot steps in the dark
Voices under the breeze
Old Indians begging
please Let me be
I need to rest
Somewhere to lay my head
The smell of death is packed into the ground
The history here is forgotten (lost soldiers)
All the wars that were fought in
These woods (dark)
Scarred wood (cracked)
Peeled bark (warped)
Nearest rivers marked
With stacked rocks (guides)
The whispers in the water I hear them talk (listen)
The frogs in the grass
The critters in the trees
All go quiet (quiet)
The darkness settles in
Forcing my feet further in
Getting lost in the maze of terror
In the shadow stuck forever
[outro]
Dead end roads
Turn to black
Trees carve a tunnel
Like fingers entangled
It’s dark on this sacred land
The air is heavy
Wind is warm
Creeking trees
Curved stumps
Burial mounds
Forgotten battles
The dark figures here
Yell to fallow
Don’t turn around stay on the path
Don’t turn around stay on the path
Find the light run if it’s in sight
[chorus1]
[bridge]
Wake up at home
Safe in bed
Reading the time
Wondering what happ-ened
Safety of my surroundings wrapped in
Back in the light where I belong
Street lights on
Busy streets
It’s cold out here
Park bench wet
Drizzling rain
Its a dark night
It’s a dark night
Ooohhhh yyeeeeaaaaa
Dark night
[dark piano solo]
