There's an old man living
in the back of your woods tonight
You forgot he was even there
but you've never slipped his mind
He`s living off of scraps of you
You never knew you left behind
And as the sun goes down
he rises with a smile
He`s waiting on the night to fall
The old mans coming to call
You don't see the writing on the wall
He`ll never step out in the light
No hes just biding time
And while you slumber
He`s gonna come and take it all
He`s waiting on the night to fall
He`s waiting on the night to fall
He knows you have the answers
but Truth lies dusty on your shelf
And the sword that you could slay him
with has become an ornament
and nothing else
You could put him back down
in his hole in the ground
but he knows you never will
He`s been around so long
you got used to the smell
He`s waiting on the night to fall
The old mans coming to call
You don't see the writing on the wall
He`ll never step out in the light
No he`s just biding time
And while you slumber
He`s gonna come and take it all
He`s waiting on the night to fall
He`s waiting on the night to fall
He knows he`ll never have your soul
But he will gladly rob you blind
While you're feasting at his table
He`ll tie your hands
and numb your mind
He`ll take you farther
than you wanna go
He`ll keep you longer
than you wanna stay
And it will cost you more
than you ever thought you'd pay
Hes waiting on the night to fall
The old mans coming to call
You don't see the writing on the wall
He`ll never step out in the light
No he`s just biding time
And while you slumber
He`s gonna come and take it all
He`s waiting on the night to fall
He`s waiting on the night to fall
He`s waiting on the night
He`s waiting on the night to fall
The old mans coming to call
But you don't see
You don't see the writing on the wall
He`s waiting on the night
He`s waiting on the night to fall
He`s waiting on the night to fall
