And the bending searching willow tree
Sweeping the twilight under the leaves
We all look sad as the sun goes down
The forest whips a deathly howl
Something's stirring deep inside
The trees stand deadly still tonight
The sun loved river stops its flow
The ravens gather in the creepy cold
♪
Slowly coming, slowly gathering
If you go down to the woods today looking for a big surprise
The orchestra is coming to play before your very eyes
And everything you've ever been is in the show tonight
Wrapped up in your very own symphony
Don't go down to the woods today, you really have no choice
The orchestra demands your presence, strictly on your own
Stand to attention as the death through your soul
I hope you've been good, boys and girls
The farmers hands to the poet's house
A rancour stash and sweetest lies
Everybody down at the bottom of the pile
The hippies in a band on the camping site
Overland and under sea, everybody's playing hide and seek
Can't outrun your shadow today, orchestra's very very hungry
Slowly coming, slowly gathering
If you go down to the woods today you're in for a big surprise
The orchestra is coming to play before your very eyes
They strip the marrow from your bones and feed it to the night
Soaked in your very own symphony
Don't go down to the woods today, you really have no choice
The orchestra is calling your name, strictly you alone
All the hugs, the terrible love, all you've ever been
Drowning in your very own symphony
And they're looking for a crote, is it your lucky day
If you been a bad boy, then, Lord you better pray
'Cause even the devil would wish it on you
Endlessly playing humanity's tune
But he's keeping score from one out to ten
And some of you, buggers, go up to eleven
Stand to attention as the smoke to the fire
Of the life that you lived in the comfort of all
Don't go down to the woods tonight, don't go down to the woods tonight
Don't go down to the woods tonight, don't go down to the woods tonight
Don't go down to the woods tonight, don't go down to the woods tonight
Don't go down to the woods all alone
