Deep within, deep within
There's a captivating voice calling out that echoes, unceased
Closer, then; closer, then
Calling you closer into the heart of the woods, unreleased
Faster, now; faster, now
If you don't hurry up, then you'll lose track of our mystery
Come on now, come on now
Let's have fun - take your place; now, welcome, and please enjoy the feast!
This cinnamon stick, with one flick, becomes magical and plays tricks
And with a 1-2-3, just like that, pouring syrup's just the first shtick!
Drenched in it, you'll fall to a sweet dream where everything bitter's unseen
And, taking shelter where no one can see, you'll be left there, fast asleep
It's fine to wander, mesmerized, captivated by every single lie
Just keep the blindfold on, for it won't be nearly as fun when unsurprised
Watch your step as you twist and turn left and right
Let me guide you in this sweet dream
But, before you take a step forward, entrust everything to me
For much too long now
The blade of doubt has been haunting me, waiting for my last bow
Is it punishment
For falling to love and crafting another indulgent vow?
Though you were covered
Through a slit in the blindfold, you were still able to witness
Lit by the oil lanterns
In the shadows, something that proved something's truly amiss
Oh me, oh my! Already time for you to be awake, is it?
If you won't follow the rules set up, I'll take your eyes as punishment!
But first, why don't you give us a smile? Let me see that cute face that you have~
Find your bearings, slip back into your skin; time for the show's second half
Why look at me with such a face? Your whole body is trembling, so afraid
Would some warm milk ease your heart, then? I'll get you a glass if you behave
So come in closer, take my hand! It's warm and bright, there's nothing to fear inside
The only thing you have to pay is whatever's in your pockets tonight
Hand it over! Hurry now, hurry up! Look at that - don't get carried away!
You took our invitation! You don't have a choice in this, you can't escape!
Just go along with the make-believe we've crafted; enjoy the nectar, please
Hand it over before it's too late for you to survive this hallowed eve
