Goodbye!

Don't do this during the day,

Or you will be found,

Sneak out at night,

Wear all black,

Do not take a flashlight,

Or a mobile phone,

Make sure your shoes are as black

As your coat,

Don't leave a note,

You don't want them to know,

Find a dark road,

Avoid the moon,

You don't need any shadows,

Just walk in the gloom,

The road won't lead you anywhere,

Though you must keep walking,

Don't try to turn back,

There is nothing but despair,

Don't stop to eat,

Don't stop to sleep,

Don't turn corners,

There will be people you,

Must not meet,

Walk,

Walk,

Walk,

Down this dark road,

You'll come to a pitch black void,

Though you won't see it;

Walk through it,

Keep walking,

Nobody will hear you scream,

There is no point in trying,

They are not coming to rescue you,

Keep walking,

That's it,

You're nowhere to be found now,

Mission complete

Goodbye!
