(Fast, driving tempo. Distorted, buzz-saw guitars and a relentless, pummeling drum beat.) (Verse 1) Black lights burn on peeling paint, the air is thick and full of taint The graveyard gates are rusted wide, tonight there's nowhere left to hide My jacket's ripped, my boots are scarred, I found my dance floor in the yard Where monuments stand cracked and tall, I'm ready now to break the wall! (Chorus) Grave beat! Grave beat! Pound the pavement with your feet! Grave beat! Grave beat! The rhythm of the winding sheet! No costume change, no fancy lies, just look 'em dead right in the eyes! Tonight the ghouls are in the pit, come on, come on, and lose your grip! (Verse 2) The moon's a sliver, thin and cold, a story that can't be controlled A hundred years of dust and bone, now they're out here on their own The phantom howl, the vampire sneer, I only know to feel no fear Four chords loud and full of dread, waking up the rotten dead! (Chorus) Grave beat! Grave beat! Pound the pavement with your feet! Grave beat! Grave beat! The rhythm of the winding sheet! No costume change, no fancy lies, just look 'em dead right in the eyes! Tonight the ghouls are in the pit, come on, come on, and lose your grip! (Guitar Solo - Short, fast, and chaotic. All downstrokes and feedback.) (Bridge) Hear the chains, hear the shout! Let the poison pour right out! The rules are dead, the rules are gone, we're dancing 'til the bloody dawn! Throw a brick through the stained-glass smile! Just for a little while! Forget the candy, forget the treat, this is the sound of the grave beat! (Chorus) Grave beat! Grave beat! Pound the pavement with your feet! Grave beat! Grave beat! The rhythm of the winding sheet! No costume change, no fancy lies, just look 'em dead right in the eyes! Tonight the ghouls are in the pit, come on, come on, and lose your grip! (Outro) Grave beat! (Grave beat!) Grave beat! (Oi!) Grave beat! (Faster! Faster!) (Loud, final power chord with feedback that cuts out abruptly.)
