Welcome To Black Hollow

Intro

Verse 1

Everything went black... then I opened my eyes

Still standing in that house where the nightmare began

The hand was gone... the room was empty...

But the front door stood wide open

I didn't wait.

I ran.

Past the broken windows.

Past the empty streets.

Past the church.

I never looked back.

Verse 2

I found my car exactly where I'd left it

The keys were still inside

The engine started without a sound

And I drove as fast as I could

For miles the road stretched on forever

Then I saw something that turned my blood cold...

The same old sign.

WELCOME TO BLACK HOLLOW

I hadn't escaped.

I'd only gone in a circle.

Pre-Chorus

Then a voice came from behind me...

"You can leave the town..."

"But the town never leaves you."

Chorus

Welcome To Hell!

Did you think the end was real?

Welcome To Hell!

Now you'll know just how it feels

Every mile becomes a prison cell

There's no way out...

Welcome To Hell!

Verse 3

The road vanished beneath the tyres

The ground opened into a deep valley

Shapes stood on the cliffs watching me pass

None of them moved... none of them blinked

My car rolled to a stop by itself.

The door unlocked.

As if something wanted me to get out.

So I did.

Verse 4

Footprints led away through the dust.

They weren't mine.

I followed them anyway.

They ended at a tall doorway standing by itself.

No walls.

No house.

Just a doorway.

On the other side...

Someone was waiting.

It looked exactly like me.

Only this time...

He wasn't smiling.

He looked me straight in the eyes.

"You still don't remember..."

"I warned you not to come here."

I stepped closer.

"What are you talking about?"

He shook his head.

"You opened the door."

"You spoke the words."

"You invited it in."

Before I could ask another question...

The ground began to shake.

A deep roar echoed through the darkness.

And something started walking toward us.

Final Chorus

Welcome To Hell!

Now the truth begins to rise

Welcome To Hell!

You can't hide from your own eyes

Every soul has a tale to tell

But yours has just begun...

Welcome To Hell!

Outro

The footsteps grew louder...

Closer...

Closer...

Then a voice spoke from the darkness...

"I remember you..."

...and I finally remembered why I came to Black Hollow.
