[Verse 1]
Alice found a box
On a rainy thrift-store shelf
Wooden board, black ink
Dusty rules all by itself
Tiny carved doors
And a map with missing names
She brushed off the lid
Then the room began to change
[Pre-Chorus]
A cold wind spun
Through the game-piece grin
The candle jumped
And the floor gave in
She held her breath
As the numbers lit
One move in
And she was it
[Chorus]
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Pull me in
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Let the quest begin
New world calling
Through the dark and gold
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Take my hand and go
[Verse 2]
She hit red stone roads
With a moon above the trees
Lanterns in the fog
And a sky that watched her breathe
Riddle mouths in masks
Spoke in rust and rain
Every turn she took
Unlocked a different name
[Pre-Chorus]
A bridge of bones
Over silver streams
She chased one clue
Through a thousand dreams
The board was gone
But the path stayed near
Alice stepped on
And the world got clear
[Chorus]
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Pull me in
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Let the quest begin
New world calling
Through the dark and gold
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Take my hand and go
[Bridge]
She found a crown
In a field of glass
Found a map of her heart
In the shadow cast
If she gets lost
She won't look back
She learned to trust
What the old board lacked
[Final Chorus]
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Pull me in
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Let the quest begin
New world calling
Through the dark and gold
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
Take my hand and go
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
I won't come home
Hellgrounds, Hellgrounds
In the unknown
