(Verse 1)

Creepin’ in the forest when the night turn cold,

Folklore warnin’s from the stories they told,

Half-man, half-horse with the limbs so long,

Claws twisted up, like the beat of this song.

Shape-shift slick, yeah it’s playin’ a game,

See a friendly face—but it ain’t the same.

Follow too far, get lured by the call,

Deep in the dark where you’re bound to fall.

(Chorus)

Tikbalang lurks when you walk alone,

Tricks on your mind ‘til you far from home,

Lost in the woods, can’t see no light,

It laughs in the shadows of the endless night.

(Verse 2)

Disappear quick, then it reappears,

Feeding your doubts and your deepest fears.

Path twists twice, now you’re turned around,

Every step heavy, no signs, no sound.

It don’t take mercy, it don’t take pity,

From jungle to mountain, countryside to city.

The elders warn strong, and the message is clear:

Don’t trust strangers when the forest is near.

(Bridge)

May sakit sa iyong katawan, nalilito sa iyong utak,

Nakulong sa isang kalituhan na inukit ng sakit.

Ito ay hindi lamang mito, ito ay isang pag-iingat na sinabi,

Igalang ang hindi alam o ang gabi ay lumalamig.

(Chorus)

Tikbalang lurks when you walk alone,

Tricks on your mind ‘til you far from home,

Lost in the woods, can’t see no light,

It laughs in the shadows of the endless night.

(Outro)

So remember that call, when the trees surround,

If you hearin’ footsteps, don’t turn around.

Legends keep livin’, the warning is strong:

Don’t follow the Tikbalang, or you won’t last long.
