It is returning through the dark

Dipper, you have met your mark

your entry's ending, so don't cry

when you hear him knock on your mind

.

You're going to be a renegade

turn around and walk away

No time for games, tonight we fight

for the fate of all mankind

"I could know so much more!"

[Chorus]

The author returning

the town Will be burning

the universe gate is a trap for the cipher

The pine tree is dying

The pine tree is dying

the pine tree is dying

the pine tree is dying

"I don't want to go..."

"I don't want to go..."

Mabel will be by your side

you will always save her life

Hold on now, no long to wait

'till they make you face your fate

He'll go into your sleep

[Chorus]

The author returning

the town Will be burning

the universe gate is a trap for the cipher

The pine tree is dying

The pine tree is dying

the pine tree is dying

the pine tree is dying

"I don't want to go..."

"I don't want to go..."

Just one more thing before you fall

you'll be getting your reward

Heal your scar and kiss your bruise

Mabel, Wendy, Stan and Soos

[Chorus]

The author returning

the town Will be burning

the universe gate is a trap for the cipher

The pine tree is dying

The pine tree is dying

the pine tree is dying

the pine tree is dying

"I don't want to go..."

"I don't want to go..."
