THE DEER (99 NIGHTS IN THE FOREST SONG)

The sunlight starts to vanish, the shadow starts to grow

You're running through the forest, back to the camp you know

I'm rising with the darkness, I'm watching where you tread

The fire is your shelter, and without it, you are dead

Run, run, I'm the shadow you fear

Faster, closer, I am the deer

Flashlight fading, prayers won't save track

In silence, deep in my care

When everybody's sleeping

I'm alone in the dark, waiting for the flames to burn out

I'm waiting in the shadows

I am ready to strike

Before lost children are crying, I will tear them apart

The cultists whisper my praises, I consume every heart

I feel the fire fade, when the cold moves in

I feel the breath is gone, when the hunt begins

I circle 'round your fire, and wait 'til night begins

Run, run, I'm the shadow you fear

Faster, closer, I am the deer

Flashlight fading, prayers won't save track

In silence, deep in my care

When everybody's sleeping

I'm alone in the dark, waiting for the flames to burn out

I'm waiting in the shadows

I am ready to strike

Hear me whisper, hear me sigh, when you close your eyes, you die

Every heartbeat calls my name, in the dark we play this game (yeah!)

When everybody's sleeping

I'm alone in the dark, waiting for the flames to burn out

I'm waiting in the shadows

I am ready to strike

When everybody's sleeping

I'm alone in the dark, waiting for the flames to burn out

I'm waiting in the shadows

I am ready to strike
