"Wake no more" (A twisted horror-type genre)
Down in Slumber


Down in Slumber
Wake no more
Close your eyes
Rest forever more
Don't try to escape

Down in Slumber
Don't open your eyes
Let it all rush through
Ignore their words
Before its to late

Ignore the steps getting louder and louder
Hush
Just close your eyes
They won't get you if you act fine
Don't try to escape

Down in Slumber
Hear no more
Down in Slumber
Don't let them get near
Fear them

Pretend not to hear them opening the door
Act as if you can't hear their breathing
Don't be scared of the knife up your chest
Just close your eyes
Down in Slumber

Ignore them
Don't speak
Pretend you can't see
Remember the rules
Down in Slumber

You aren't supposed to know
You aren't supposed to hear their whispers
They know
And if you answer
They will never let go
Down in Slumber
