Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't take it lightly, there's footsteps in the darkness
Don't take it lightly, there's a shadow making ground
So just sleep lightly, the hounds will find the man
Shadow shaking, they're closing in, closing in
[Verse 2]
Don't take it lightly, shadows dance across the tree line
Don't take it lightly, I need you more than ever
With one eye open, thunder's rolling in
They're closing in, they're closing in, hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever
Hey, hey, come on, we're running for our lives
Hey, hey, come on, there's refuge in your heartbeat
They're closing in, they're closing in
[Verse 4]
As darkness falls I can hear them telling stories
The scent of cigarettes, there's danger in the air
I close my eyes, for a moment you are with me
I'm glad you're safe, far away from here
[Verse 5]
These men who hunt us know nothing of our lives
So please step lightly, there's menace in the heavens
Dark and threatening, there's a shadow in the air
They're closing in, they're closing in, hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever
Hey, hey, come on, we're running for our lives
Hey, hey, come on, there's refuge in your heartbeat
They're closing in, they're closing in
[Verse 7]
Don't take it lightly, there's footsteps in the shadows
Don't take it lightly, I can feel it on my skin
One not open, there's an evil man a-coming
They're closing in, they're closing in
[Verse 8]
Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever
Hey, hey, come on, we're running for our lives
Hey, hey, come on, there's refuge in your heartbeat
They're closing in, they're closing in
[Verse 9]
Hey, hey, come on, there's refuge in your heartbeat
Hey, hey, come on, we're running for our lives
Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever
They're closing in, they're closing in
[Verse 10]
Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever
Hey, hey, come on, we're running for our lives
Hey, hey, come on, there's refuge in your heartbeat
They're closing in, they're closing in, hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
