August, 1958 Lyrics


Part I: The Pact

Remember? I can’t remember

The horror of what’s begun

Too late to turn the other way

The fear - it grips me

Why are we the only ones?

The ritual must be done

The sky bleeds red. The kids are all dead

It rules these grounds. It makes no sounds

It waits…

Tonight. It has begun

To kill. The cycle starts again

And the memories come back to me

It plays on our fears

The terror is too much to bear

And I know, I can’t go on

The waters run black. The dead have come back

It hides in the dark. Beckoning to us

We all float…

Part II: IT

Come on down, there’s lots of room

All your friends are here. Come meet your doom

Follow me. You can always play

And you’ll be dead by the end of the day

Tie the noose, loop it ‘round your neck

By my hands, your death won’t be so quick

It doesn’t matter if you plan it well

Beep-beep, Richie. I’ll take you to hell

Start the fire, or blow you to pieces

Eat you alive, beyond recognition

I’m forever eternal. My evil’s alive

Ever since the beginning you’ve been sent here to die

Let fall the hammer. Sentence you to death

You had your chance. Now’s your final breath

The seas are rising and you’ve lost the boat

But it’s okay because down here…we all float

Don’t walk alone or you won’t leave intact

Don’t walk alone, or I will attack

We all float down here, now we want you too

And when you’re down here, you’ll float too

Say goodbye to everything you know

I am everything and anything you show

Like a parasite I occupy this place

I’ll hunt you down. Now begin the chase

The fetid stench of rotting carcass and death

Surrounding you. Embedded in your flesh

The Deadlights shine, drives you insane

I’ll kill you all. Ha ha ha ha…

You can’t win, in darkness I lie

You can’t win, you’ll die if you try

We all float down here, now we want you too

And when you’re down here, you’ll float too

Part III: Victory?

It’s done. For now, it’s over

But still the monster lingers

It will never fade this evil place
