[Intro] [Verse 1] The rusted rails are gleaming cold beneath a blood moon, A silent phantom coaster that departs at midnight soon. The wooden frame begins to squeak, the iron gears turn slow, As ghostly screams of passenger long-vanished start to grow. [Verse 2] The safety bars snap down in place with no one there to touch, You try to break the heavy iron, frozen in its clutch. A cold chill creeps down your spine, the dark cars leave the floor, And take you up the endless hill toward the painted door. [Chorus / Verse 3] Up at the peak the world stands still, the engine gives a click, You look down at the abyss below, your breathing short and slow. Then down into the pitch-black void the phantom cars collide, There is no brake, there is no end, to this eternal ride. [Interlude - Instrumental] [Verse 4] Through fog and mist of forgotten years the ghostly track turns sharp, Where spectral riders join the cart and whisper in the dark. Their hollow eyes and skeletal hands are reaching through the air, Bound forever to the thrill of terror and despair. [Bridge / Verse 5] Looping high through shattered dreams and shadows in the night, The phantom coaster never stops before the morning light. It races past the rotting sign that warns of danger near, Driven by the echo of a hundred years of fear. [Instrumental Solo] [Outro / Verse 6] When morning breaks across the park, the ride is dark and still, An empty coaster sitting cold atop the wooden hill. But on the track a single seat is warm beneath the sun, Waiting for the midnight hour when the ride has just begun. [Fade Out] [End]
