## Lyrics

[JORDAN:]

A cup of tea brewed from a late night's spring kiss

Not the worst thing you'll drink and it gives a nice lift

Relax, a deep breath, it's a long way you've come

Out the walls of the world to the vague lands beyond

Our plan went just perfect, we’ve readied for years

To capture a slenderman passing through here

And you were his prize, now you're safe with us, warm

In here, the last post on reality's shore

[RESIDENTS:]

The decadent abbey

The last midnight comes and goes past

As the cracks in the ballroom appear

The decadent abbey

The fool with his thumb in the hole

As the dark waters rise and grow near

[JORDAN:]

This way, its a maze I know, please follow me

There’s wings where there's things that you don't need to see

The thin man's quite scary perhaps you need, say

S change of pants, you'd be far from the first, there's no shame

If not, you must come, we've prepared a great feast

You should meet and should greet since it’s doubtful you'll leave

Samuel will speak, just relax, you'll adapt

Though all those who come here eventually go mad

[RESIDENTS:]

The decadent abbey

The last midnight comes and goes past

As the cracks in the ballroom appear

The decadent abbey

The fool with his thumb in the hole

As the dark waters rise and grow near

[SAMUEL:]

For my mother, my sister and for you, Jordan

So much like them you are

To save you, there's no length too far I'd go

Cast your burdens to the wind

Open up and let me in

Raise a glass, at last

Our mad and addled scheme has come to pass

Our half cocked sad and desperate plan

The snare that snags the slenderman

This abbey's stood and held the cracks

Some thousand years, and all have gone mad

Alas, a thankless, fruitless task

Until at last we've stricken back

The leash that holds the vile and wiley smiley man

The render bender when he catch you, ends you, slenderman

The bonds that bind the bogeyman, well, if they can

Drink a round now, lads, the snare that snags the slenderman

The teeth that creep and slowly seep

Inside the walls and crawls and reeks

And hunts, from wicked this way comes

And takes those who once we've loved

In all the time, this abbey's stood

Upon the walls of our fair world

And watch the things from outside come

And only now we've snared us one

The leash that holds the vile and wiley smiley man

The render bender when he catch you, ends you, slenderman

The bonds that bind the bogeyman, well, if they can

Drink a round now, lads, the snare that snags the slenderman

[JORDAN:]

The ugly things I feel

Sometimes they're all I think is real

And Sam, I know you want to help in spite of myself

[SAMUEL:]

My dear, welcome here, it's a pleasure

[ZOE:]

It’s a pleasure, I guess

[SAMUEL:]

Our thanks to you all, worked out quite for the best

The Order explained of your quest, you'll need find

The Librarians who can explain all in time

I see you've met Jordan, she can show you your room

[JORDAN:]

I can show you your room

[ZOE:]

That’d be nice, and stop by anytime that you choose

[JORDAN:]

Anytime? day or night?

[ZOE:]

Day or night

Although night has a nice charm

[JORDAN:]

Aren't you the cheeky one?

[SAMUEL:]

Excuse me, now time for a toast, drink on down

[RESIDENTS:]

The decadent abbey

The last midnight comes and goes past

As the cracks in the ballroom appear

The decadent abbey

The fool with his thumb in the hole

As the dark waters rise and grow near

The decadent abbey

The last midnight comes and goes past

As the cracks in the ballroom appear

The decadent abbey

The fool with his thumb in the hole

As the dark waters rise and grow near
