Welcome to the Nightmare

Do ya hear dat?…It’s almost Halloween fuckers…

Grizzlyjones…drop it…(drop it)…

(Whisper)

Trick… or… treat…

System failure.

Soul not found.

(Deep robotic voice)

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE.

(Maniacal laughter)

Black boots stompin’ where the dead leaves crack,

Red eyes glow when the moon turns black.

Got a steel-tooth grin and a glitch in my brain,

Hear my name in the thunder and the cold November rain.

Tick-tock, hear the clock in the walls,

Three knocks deep, then the whole house calls.

Cobweb crown with a face like rust,

I’m the thing underneath that you don’t wanna trust.

Creak goes the floor, now the lights go dead,

Cold little fingers start scratchin’ your head.

No pulse, no peace, just a heart made of stone,

I’m the king of the dark and the dark is my home.

(Whisper left)

Run… run…

(Whisper right)

Hide… hide…

(Robotic voice)

Your fear has been detected.

There is nowhere left to hide.

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE!

(HEY!) THE DEVIL’S IN THE AIR!

BOOM-BOOM, SHAKE THE GROUND,

WHEN THE MIDNIGHT BELLS RING, DON’T MAKE A SOUND!

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE!

(HEY!) GOT YOUR SOUL IN MY LAIR!

TRICK OR TREAT, NOW STOMP YOUR FEET,

THE DEAD COME ALIVE WHEN THE BASSLINE BEATS!

B-B-B-BURIED!

N-N-N-NO ESCAPE!

S-S-SYSTEM OVERRIDE!

WELCOME TO YOUR FATE!

I got a blacked-out hearse with a speaker-wall roar,

Chains on the bumper, leave a trail at your door.

Crows in formation, bats in the sky,

Hear that laugh? Better wave your ass goodbye.

Pumpkin-head grin with a flickering flame,

Every lost soul got a place in the game.

Coffin-floor rhythm, let the whole crypt bounce,

When the bass hits hard, hear the tombstones pounce.

I’m a glitch in the graveyard, a beast in the code,

A cold-blooded phantom on a dead-end road.

My voice sounds broken, my eyes burn red,

You can kill the damn lights, but you can’t kill the dread.

(Quiet raspy whisper)

Did you hear that?

(Three metallic knocks)

(Deep robotic voice)

BEHIND YOU.

(LOUD SCREAM — BASS DROP)

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE!

THE DEVIL’S IN THE AIR!

BOOM-BOOM, SHAKE THE GROUND,

WHEN THE MIDNIGHT BELLS RING, DON’T MAKE A SOUND!

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE!

NO ESCAPE FROM THE LAIR!

TRICK OR TREAT, NOW STOMP YOUR FEET,

THE DEAD COME ALIVE WHEN THE BASSLINE BEATS!

Halloween protocol… complete.

Soul detected.

Soul collected.

(Whisper)

See you next October…
