Bedtime
Halo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the scraping on the wall
I am the noises in the hall
I am the shiver in your spine
And I'm behind you all the time

I'm in the cracks beneath your bed
I am an inch above your head
I'm in the air you need to breathe
I am the truth you won't believe

Don't make a sound in case I hear
I am the chill that's in the air
I am the thing you think you see
Now close your eyes and go to sleep

I'm in the corner of the room
I am the movement in the gloom
I'm in the clothes hung on the chair
Now close your eyes,I'm everywhere

Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes

Don't make a sound in case I hear
I am the chill that's in the air
I am the thing you think you see
Now close your eyes and go to sleep

I'm in the corner of the room
I am the movement in the gloom
I'm in the clothes hung on the chair
Now close your eyes,I'm everywhere

Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes

Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes




Now close your eyes
Now close your eyes

If you have a friend with you that is willing to help do Caesar Dressing in Custom games by assassinating each other that is another very fast method but I mainly wanted to show a method of how to do it solo even if it takes a little longer than in a custom games.

@Doncut97 dude! Thanks again!!! I did it all thanks to you! Keep up the good work! You deserve more subscribers definitely. I completed so many challenges thanks to all of your tutorials.

@GamingPandas Moderator I was just doing the forklift trick a few days ago and it still works, you have to be semi precise with it as you need to be right against the door and aim for the seam in the center of the door

GamingPandas Moderator

Is the forklift and the door glitch patched? I tried and wont let me through. Try it again and let me know please! I sub and like for your great content!!! You helped me so much! Just can't do bedtime stories challenge.

Really Fast assassinations for Caesar Dressing, Halo CE Campaign Mission "Assault on the Control Room", After the 1st Elevator there are 5 sleeping grunts just outside the door. (melee killing sleeping grunts count as assassinations!) Took me about 15 minutes!

Denis Isufi

for assassins kill
if u punch a sleeping grunt on halo 3 it counts as an assassin kills

so for a fast method play ā€œthe arkā€and start at checkpoint Charlie and there is 8 sleeping grunts quickly kill them and reload check point

it took me like 10-20mins to complete it

Darnell Nelson

Thank you so much this was super easy and fast!!

Mr. Win

@Hyper Wing I just ignored the brute and took out the grunts, it was too unreliable to go for him, too.

@UmbrellaCorps the flood skull was from halo 2

UmbrellaCorps

@Hyper Wing Certain skulls can cause enemy AI to be more alert. So yeah that I might be what was causing him to turn too early. Hopefully that worked out!
