[Verse 1]

Beyond the town is a land

There lives a man

Who all know to fear

He walks in the shadows

And the warmth dies at his feet

And no one can sleep

When his hunt has begun


[Pre-Chorus]

I cannot go back to before

When his fist knocked on the door

And I knew I was doomed

I was pulled from my bed

The hair teared my head

And before I could think

We were gone in a blink

Never to be seen again


[Chorus]

And that's how I became

A tale to tell the dame

"Don't touch your hand

To the edge of the land

Where the devil lives"


[Verse 2]

I spent some days

Counting away

To when the night rose

To banish the cold

And the man held to night

There was something about the moon

The way it hung from the gloom

Just like the sun

The dark had its fun

And I became the stars


[Pre-Chorus]

I cannot go back to before

My eyes are wise and open

And dance like the wind in the sky

I found a courage to know

I used new knowledge to grow

And from a few weeds

Sprang a new seed

My mind became a field


[Chorus]

Now I have become

A tale to tell the son

"Don't follow the path

To the witch's wrath

Where none ever return"


[Outro]

Oh

Oh-oh-woah

Where none ever return

Don't you want to come with me?

D-don't you want come with me?

Mm-mm-mm-mm
