Waiting on the Night to Fall

歌詞

There's an old man living in the back of your woods tonight You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind He's living off of scraps of you you never knew you left behind And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call You don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding time And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He knows you have the answers, but Truth lies dusty on your shelf And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament and nothing else You could put him back down in his hole in the ground, but he knows you never will He's been around so long you got used to the smell He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call You don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding time And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He knows he'll never have your soul But he will gladly rob you blind While you're feasting at his table, he'll tie your hands and numb your mind He'll take you farther than you wanna go He'll keep you longer than you wanna stay And it will cost you more than you ever thought you'd pay He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call You don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding time And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's coming to call But you don't see, you don't see the writing on the wall He's waiting on the night He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall
