🎵 Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Under the stars, where night breathes deep,
An ancient call begins to creep.
The witch's hands, they stir the air,
Summoning something waiting there.

It slips through cracks, it hides in shade,
In shadows cast, it starts its raid.
No sound, no trace, it walks unseen,
The nightmare comes to haunt your dream.

[Chorus - Whispering Vocals]
Tokoloshe, he's in the dark,
His eyes are watching, leaves a mark.
A creeping step, a shadow's trace,
He’s always near, but hides his face.

[Verse 2]
A single breath, a footfall light,
It crawls beneath the bed at night.
Your breath grows short, the air turns thin,
A heavy hand pulls you within.

The drums once beat to keep him still,
But now he roams with cold, sharp will.
No door can stop, no charm can sway,
He finds his prey before the day.

[Chorus - Whispering Vocals]
Tokoloshe, he's in the dark,
His eyes are watching, leaves a mark.
A creeping step, a shadow's trace,
He’s always near, but hides his face.

[Bridge]
The flame flickers, the night turns cold,
In the dark, your story’s told.
No healer's touch, no light of dawn,
Can change the path you're set upon.

It crawls and waits, a silent form,
It thrives within the darkest storm.
The shadows stretch, the night grows long,
He hums to you his haunting song.

[Final Chorus - Whispering Vocals]
Tokoloshe, he's in the dark,
His eyes are watching, leaves a mark.
A creeping step, a shadow's trace,
He’s always near, but hides his face.

[Outro - Whispering Vocals]
A figure crouched beneath your bed,
His hand, it strokes your sleeping head.
And when you wake, it’s far too late,
The Tokoloshe decides your fate.

📜 The Tokoloshe's Lore:
The Tokoloshe is a dwarf-like supernatural entity from African folklore, known for causing mischief and harm to those it targets. It slips into homes unnoticed, bringing fear and chaos with it, pinning victims in their sleep and creating terrifying disruptions in the night. Once summoned, only powerful rituals or healers can hope to stop it, but often, it's already too late.
