Mimic

Drop

Mimic

Bite fight run for your life

Mimic

Teeth claws run

Verse 1

At the end of the hall the torchlight dies

Sat a wooden chest like a waiting prize

Golden edges shining underneath the grime

Three days without treasure makes a fool of time

Every dungeon leaves its warnings in the stone

Easy gold is better left alone

But I have never been the kind to walk away

When fortune leaves a fortune in my way

Pre-Chorus

Something moves beneath the lid

Something shifts inside

Chorus

Don't touch the chest don't reach inside

Some treasures have a hunger they can't hide

All that glitters isn't worth the price

When the gold grows teeth and comes alive

Don't touch the chest just let it lie

There's something in the dark watching from inside

I should've listened should've thought it through

Now the treasure's coming after you

Drop

Mimic

Bite fight run for your life

Mimic

Teeth claws run

Verse 2

The hinges split and splinters filled the air

A crooked tongue came twisting everywhere

Rows of teeth where all my gold should be

And two hungry eyes staring back at me

My sword went flying somewhere down the hall

My pack disappeared somewhere in its jaws

I came looking for a fortune I could take

Now I'm trying not to be the fortune that it ate

Pre-Chorus

Every snap is getting closer

Every shadow has a bite

I don't need the gold that badly

I just need to leave alive

Chorus

Don't touch the chest don't reach inside

Some treasures have a hunger they can't hide

All that glitters isn't worth the price

When the gold grows teeth and comes alive

Don't touch the chest just let it lie

There's something in the dark watching from inside

I should've listened should've thought it through

Now the treasure's coming after you

Drop

Mimic

Bite fight run for your life

Mimic

Teeth claws run

Bridge

One last swing and then it hit the ground

Broken teeth and silver scattered all around

I watched the dust come drifting through the light

And thanked the gods I'd somehow won the fight

Then a golden shimmer caught my eye

From another little doorway to the right

There it waited polished still and bright

A second chest

Surely this one's fine

Build

One step closer

Nothing moves

Two steps closer

Nothing moves

Touch the handle

Lift it slow

There's probably just gold below

Pre-Drop

Then it opened up its eyes

Oh no

Drop

MIMIC

Bite fight run for your life

MIMIC

Snap attack don't look back

One by the doorway

Two by the wall

Three in the shadows

Here they come

MIMIC

Bite fight run for your life

MIMIC

Teeth claws RUN

Final Chorus

Don't touch the chest don't reach inside

Some treasures have a hunger they can't hide

All that glitters isn't worth the price

When the gold grows teeth and comes alive

Don't touch the chest just let it lie

No pile of gold is worth the way I nearly died

If fortune finds you waiting in the gloom

Maybe leave the treasure in the room

Outro

I left the gold beneath the stone

And took the longest road back home

No jewels no treasure not a thing

Except

What's this

A little golden ring
