[English]

Your heart is pounding and it can't be stopped

You tell yourself you're okay

It's too bad your doors can't be locked

To keep the monsters away

You check behind the door

There's nothing there no more

You should've stayed in bed

You've heard this noise before

You dart across the floor

Try not to lose your head

Prepare for the horrors

This night will keep repeating over and over

And over, until you make it to the end

They hide 'round the corners

You better peel your eyes and keep looking over

Your shoulder 'cause you'll never be alone again

...

First there was one, but now there might be three

You turn around just in time

You hear a chuckle and you turn back and see

The closet door's open wide

You look around the space

And see a creepy face

Turns out it's just your toy

But it seems out of place

You leave it, just in case

It might be a decoy

Prepare for the horrors

This night will keep repeating over and over

And over until you make it to the end

They hide 'round the corners

You better peel your eyes and keep looking over

Your shoulder 'cause you'll never be alone again

...

Prepare for the horrors

This night will keep repeating over and over

And over until you make it to the end

They hide 'round the corners

You better peel your eyes and keep looking over

Your shoulder 'cause you'll never be alone

Prepare for the horrors

This night will keep repeating over and over

And over until you make it to the end

They hide 'round the corners

You better peel your eyes and keep looking over

Your shoulder 'cause you'll never be alone again

...

You'll never be alone again

...

You'll never be alone

...
