There’s something nameless out in them there woods
Some ancient power make them trees grow tall
Those forest whispers could leave the strongest man shook
If you can see the shadows then you can answer their call.
I can’t help myself, I got there at night
Past the river and the canyon hole
Thru the fairy rings, follow the ghost light
To a secret door on the side of an oak
And there you’ll be, stepping out of my dreams and into reality
All kinds of tales been spun by the old folk
Handed down to the wide-eyed and young
And they all speak with fear in their eyes
Terror tastes bitter on the back of the tongue
I can’t help myself I know that they’re wrong
Maybe they fear death or being alone
But them hills still gon be there after we’re gone
And that nameless power gon keep growing and grooooowing
And there you’ll be, stepping out of my dreams and into reality
