[Intro]

There’s one tale that begins

Deep, deep in the forest

[Verse 1]

I came upon you so sudden

A girl in the midst of the woods

My eyes adjusted to color

I saw a red riding hood

[Pre-Chorus]

Slowly creeping closer to you

But little did I see the hunter in you

[Chorus]

Now, little nightmare, you have beautiful eyes

I can see all the stories where beasts go to die

I’m the bad wolf of fables and my hunger still roars

Come let me feast upon all that is yours

[Post-Chorus]

La, la-di-di-da

La-di-di-da, di-da

La, la-di-di-da

Mm-mm

[Verse 2]

I wondered how I would catch you

Should I play with my prey

I failed to notice the glint of your knife

And the smirk on your face far crueler than mine

[Pre-Chorus]

Now suddenly I see

Why they call you a monster and not me

[Chorus]

Now, little nightmare, you have beautiful eyes

I can see all the stories where beasts go to die

I’m the bad wolf of fables and my hunger still roars

Come let me feast upon all that is yours

[Post-Chorus]

La, la-di-di-da

La-di-di-da, di-da

La, la-di-di-da

La-di-di-da, di-da

[Bridge]

I took my chance, and came up beside you

I flashed a grin

Watched as your eyes grew

I tell you come closer, you abide my words

I open my maw, and fall to the dirt

You've come to take my skin

To wrap my teeth round your throat

You’ve come to make some coin

To fashion yourself a new coat

And I should have seen it all come close

But the forest hides the truth

And only it will know

[Chorus]

Now, little nightmare, you have beautiful eyes

I can see all the stories where I’ll go to die

I’m the bad wolf of fables yet your hunger roars more

Come feast upon all that is yours
