[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]
