Blackwoods Back Home

There is something in the blackwoods 
Going in cannot be good 
All these branches pull me in 
Notify my next of kin 

I smell the death tonight 
It makes me feel so scared, uneasy 
The darkness blinds the sight 
There's something mighty dark in this wood 

Everybody has gone home 
I can hear the demons come 
I smell the death tonight 
It makes me feel so scared, uneasy 
The darkness blinds the sight 
There's something mighty dark in this wood 

I have come to far and there is no way I can go back 
People tell me I should live my life wanting to attack 
But I don't know if I can manage hurting anybody 
I'm so scared of all these trees that move around to hug me 

I smell the death tonight 
It makes me feel so scared, uneasy 
The darkness blinds the sight 
There's something mighty dark in this wood 

I have come to far and there is no way I can go back 
People tell me I should live my life wanting to attack 
But I don't know if I can manage hurting anybody 
I'm so scared of all these trees that move around to hug me
