The House Remembers

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

Long years I waited in the quiet ground

Watched the house change hands like borrowed clothes

The cellar door still creaks the same old sound

And every board remembers where it grows

They painted over claw marks with bright white

Hung new curtains where the windows used to moan

But I was always patient through the night

A patient thing that never walks alone

Pre-Chorus

When the lights go out

And the small ones shout

For a mother's hand

I understand

Chorus

Freddy will get his revenge

Slow as winter frost

Freddy will get his revenge

Nothing here is lost

Verse 2

They smile about the past like it was soft

Like rooms were never scratched and never stained

But every dream's a door I've learned to cross

And every bed remembers who remained

So children play and parents think it's done

They never check the socket or the seam

But shadows have a memory of fun

And I collect the echoes of their screams

Pre-Chorus

When the clock strikes three

And they're safe and free

That's when I begin

Come on in

Chorus

Freddy will get his revenge

Slow as winter frost

Freddy will get his revenge

Nothing here is lost

Bridge

They buried me with coal dust in my chest

But hatred doesn't need a beating heart

I'll find the ones who swore they knew me best

And teach the house a brand new kind of art

Hook

Come on down

Come on down

Come on down to me

Chorus

Freddy will get his revenge

Slow as winter frost

Freddy will get his revenge

Nothing here is lost

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Freddy will get his revenge
