Intro:

Verse 1:
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

  Chorus:
  He's waiting on the night to fall
  The old man's 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

Verse 2:
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

  Chorus:
  He's waiting on the night to fall
  The old man's 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

  Bridge:
  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

  Chorus:
  He's waiting on the night to fall
  The old man's 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

Outro:
Hes waiting on the night
Hes 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
Hes waiting on the night
Hes waiting on the night to fall
Hes waiting on the night to fall
