Chris Ridire - Chapter One Lyrics

I only took my eye off the road for a second
I thought I could see something in the woods out the passenger window
It was almost as if something was running alongside the car
Almost as if it was stalking us

I didn't see the little girl until too late
I swerved to avoid her but I lost control of the car
There was a thick fog and it had been snowing all week
I think I hit a patch of black ice

When I came to I realised I was in the town
Somehow the car made it down the mountain in one piece
I thanked my lucky stars and got out to look for help
But I couldn't find anyone

The whole town was deserted; not a soul to be seen
The fog had rolled in and you could hardly see anything
Large chunks of the road had been torn up
It was if the town had been hit by missiles or meteors

It was the weirdest thing I had I ever seen
Darkness fell in a matter of seconds
I stumbled down an alley clutching the wall for support
I slipped in some liquid and fell to the floor
