## Lyrics

[SAMUEL:]

I try to see, to peel beneath

The droning tones, know what they mean

Oh, Jordan, if you just were here with me

Its cries I've saved upon this tape

And backwards half speed I will play it

Somewhere here some meaning it must lay

[SLENDERMAN:]

Sing with me, child, as the day grows long

And stardust fills your eyes

Sing with me, child, of the love never lost

Your mother’s lullaby

[SAMUEL:]

Ahh!

Ahh!

[ZOE:]

When the sense you make is crumbling

[TIMOTHY:]

Zoe, where are we going?

[ZOE:]

And goddamn freaking teddy bears you see

[TIMOTHY:]

Where on earth are we running to?

[ZOE:]

And they warn you that this place

And all inside are going insane

The time at last has come to leave

[JORDAN:]

As I caress and ride your flesh

And search beneath the reek and press

Upon your dark and festered chest

[SAMUEL:]

Jordan, it is I, I fear I’m losing here my mind

[SAMUEL:] *(spoken)*

Dear God, what are you doing? What are you doing with that thing?

[JORDAN:]

I must possess him

I must crawl under his skin

Access, ingress him

[SAMUEL:]

Let me too come in

I will enter and ascend you

Flesh to flesh and skin to skin

Open up, embrace me

[JORDAN:]

Come to us, come on in

As I caress and ride your flesh - Oh!

Upon your festered chest

And search beneath the reeking mess - Oh!

Where loves lays bound suppressed

As I caress - Oh!

Your flesh and search beneath - Oh!

Where is my love - Oh!

You hide so deep - Oh!

Where is - Oh!

My love - Oh!

You hide - Oh!

So deep - Oh!

So lost - Ohhh!

[SAMUEL:]

The song I heard my mother sing

My sister too while - Oh!

I sang to her while she lay dying

and you are them right - Oh!

Jordan, sister - Oh!

Let me hear my sister speak - Oh!

On my flesh you comfort - Oh!

Come and comfort me - Oh!

Jordan - Oh!

Mother - Oh!

Sister - Oh!

Jordan - Ohhh!

[ZOE:] *(spoken)*

Oh my god, what are you doing? Jesus, that’s disgusting. Oh, no, no. No, no, no.

[TIMOTHY:]

Zoe, what are we going to do?

[ZOE:] *(spoken)*

We’re bloody leaving here right now.

[TIMOTHY:]

Not to get too hung up on details, but how?

[ZOE:] *(spoken)*

The same way we came in.

[TIMOTHY:] *(spoken)*

You don’t mean the murder monster?

[ZOE:] *(spoken)*

Of course, but this time we just ride that bastard like a horse. Brace yourself, we’re getting on, we’re heading out into the Fog Beyond.

[ZOE:]

Away, away from out the madness

Away-ay-ay, to find the girl from the blackness

[REDNECK GREEK CHORUS:]

When the last call rings in silence

Patrons passed out in the street

The god of wine arrives

And crucifies all those inside

The time at last has come to leave

When your lover’s burnt the bedroom

When the children show their teeth

And paint upon each door

A mark in blood you know not for

The time at last has come to leave

When the black boots close the borders

The shop girls eye you hungrily

And the huntsmen come

And only you without a gun

The time at last has come to leave
