He starts to lead
The woods in song
Of tales and trees
Old wives forgot
The sign it reads
"Don't tease the dark"
Or the den of beasts
Will open up
To the old place
Right at midnight
Where his love plays
Where his hope lies
He starts to pray
The sounds away
To the old place
Right at midnight
Where his bones sit
Where his love dies
He starts to change
He starts to change
Stop me I'll stab you
You love me I dare you
It's fine to be crowned
The talk of the town
So hate me I'll hate you
You burn me, it's easy to
Pull me around
I'm wrong in this crowd
Stay far from me
The wolves are near
I'll hate to catch
Your scent of fear
They crawl in threes
They hunt for dreams
Don't shine a light
Don't cause a scene
To the old place
Right at midnight
Where his love plays
Where his hope lies
He starts to pray
The sounds away
To the old place
Right at midnight
Where his bones sit
Where his love dies
He starts to change
He starts to change
Stop me I'll stab you
You love me I dare you
It's fine to be crowned
The talk of the town
Time will break
The bonds we trust
And I will take
What's left of us
They raise their flames
He grows afraid
He calls a name
And "God is great"
These poor things
They're all the same
They feed on hate
Speak only chains
To the old place
Right at midnight
Where his love plays
Where his hope lies
He starts to pray
The sounds away
Time will break
The bonds we trust
And I will take
What's left of us
To the old place
Right at midnight
Where his love plays
Where his hope lies
To the old place
Right at midnight
Where his bones sit
Where his love dies
