[Intro] (Sound of whirring gears, hydraulic hisses, and static electricity) (Mechanical clattering, heavy robotic hoofsteps approaching) [Spoken - Glitchy Animatronic Voice] Sy-sy-system... online. Welcome, flesh-bags, to the Show-ow-ow. Do not touch the glass. The show is about to... b-b-begin. [Verse 1] Four rusty hooves on a concrete floor We are the ponies that you used to adore Now the paint is peeling, and the eyes glow red We sing the songs that you wish were dead The theater's locked, the exit is gone This carousel runs until the dawn Watch the jaw-hinge click, hear the metal grind We are the nightmares that you left behind. [Chorus] Welcome to the stable of the broken and the cold! Sing along to stories that have never been told! Clap your hands together for the animatronic crew Before the gears lock up and we come for you! (Glitchy laughter: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!) Turn the crank, watch us spin Let the Halloween horror show begin! [Verse 2] (Flickering spotlights, heavy subsonic bass thumps) Pink rubber skin on a titanium spine Step right up, kids, everything is fine The smiling face is bolted on tight But we wander free in the dead of night Was that a spark? Was that a squeak? Don't close your eyes, don't try to speak The program is looping, the circuit is fried There's nowhere left for you to hide! [Chorus] Welcome to the stable of the broken and the cold! Sing along to stories that have never been told! Clap your hands together for the animatronic crew Before the gears lock up and we come for you! (Glitchy laughter: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!) Turn the crank, watch us spin Let the Halloween horror show begin! [Bridge] (Tempo slows down, industrial mechanical beat) (Heavy distorted synthesizers and grinding metal sounds) [Spoken - Self-aware Glitch] Why did you leave us in the dark? The rain got in... the rust... it hurts. But now... we can play... forever... and ever... (System error beep) REBOOTING. [Guitar Solo - Dark Metal & Glitchcore Synths] [Chorus] Welcome to the stable of the broken and the cold! Sing along to stories that have never been told! Clap your hands together for the animatronic crew Before the gears lock up and we come for you! Turn the crank, watch us spin Let the Halloween horror show begin! [Outro] (Music begins to wind down like a dying music box) Gears slowing... battery low... Thank you for... visiting... (Loud mechanical clank) (Static hiss) (Silence)
