And the bending, searching willow tree Sweeping the twighlight underneath The owl looks on as the sun goes down The forest weeps a deathly howl Something stirring deep inside The trees stand deadly still tonight The sullen river stops his flow The ravens gather in the creeping cold
Slowly coming, slowly gathering
If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big suprise 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 they tear through your soul. I hope you’ve been good boys and girls.
The farmers hands to the poets eyes The bankers stash, the sweetest lies Everybody down and the bottom of the pile The hippies in a band on the camping site Overland and under sea, everybody's playing hide and seek You can't outrun your shadow today The 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. 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 hopes, the terror, the love, all you’ve ever been Drowning in your very own symphony.
And they're looking for recruits is it your lucky day? if you've been a bad boy then Lord you'd better pray Cause even the Devil wouldn't wish it on you Endlessly playing humanity's tune But he's keeping score from one up to ten And some of you buggers go up to eleven Stand to attention as they slaughter the fire Of the life that you lived in the comfort of home
Don't go down to the woods tonight (x6) Don't go down to the woods all alone
