The forest holds secrets, the trees whisper names
Dwellers living in the town lock their doors at twilight
The winds battle through branches playing games
For what lives within the trees holds nightmarish fright

Dwellers in the town lock their doors at twilight
Scratches and ghoulish delight gurgle up in the gloom
For what lives within the trees holds nightmarish fright
Some unimaginable creature risen again from its tomb

Scratches and ghoulish delight gurgle up in the gloom
Eyes the color of blood glitter through windows barred
Some unimaginable creature risen again from its tomb
Leaving poor souls trapped within forever scarred

Eyes the color of blood glitter through windows barred
Trying the door, the wood shakes once, twice, again
Leaving poor souls trapped within forever scarred
Its anger and envy drive the creature at those within

Trying the door, the wood shakes once, twice, again
Dawn once more frees all from nightmarish sleep
Its anger and envy drive the creature at those within
Children are warned not to stray into the forest deep

Dawn once more frees all from nightmarish sleep
The forest holds secrets, the trees whisper names
Children are warned not to stray into the forest deep
The winds battle through branches playing games
