Haunt Them, Haunt Them, Haunt Them
[Verse 1]
I think I'm in despair
The wind is in the trees
Basically, just waiting for something to come along and eat me
[Verse 2]
Is this future's gate?
Where my dreams retreat?
And all my memories are just memories of memories?
[Verse 3]
And a-folded in a dream
Pitch-black and glowing blue
A raven saying, 'I know a way that I can help you'
[Verse 4]
Oh-oh, I stared into his eyes
I saw my pale last days
Said, 'What you can't escape, you gotta embrace.'
[Chorus 1]
Ah-oh, I know a way to get back
This don't have to end
A way to get back
And haunt them, haunt them, haunt them
[Verse 5]
Then he wished me plain
As he flew away
Said I'd see him coming on that pale last day
[Verse 6]
And he wished me plain
Ordinary death
Said he'd be back after I escaped it
[Verse 7]
Oh, I've seen how they are
How they'd all sell their souls
In little bits and pieces, 'til they get old
[Verse 8]
They don't make a dent
In indifference
We'll haunt them, haunt them, haunt them
[Chorus 2]
But I want to go back
If this is the end
I wanna go back
Not to haunt them, haunt them, haunt them
[Outro]
Not to haunt them, haunt
Not to haunt them, haunt, haunt
Haunt them, haunt them
