[Intro — Whispered voice, creepy laughter, distant church bells] Tick-tock… tick-tock… The clock strikes twelve! Who's that knocking? IT'S YOURSELF! Hehehehehe! I have a face, but I have no soul. I have a hunger that swallows you whole. Light my candle, lock your door… You won't be safe here anymore! [Verse 1 — Dark, rhythmic vocals] There's something moving in the attic, Something breathing in the wall. Hear the chains inside the cellar? Hear the dead beneath the hall? Empty houses, broken mirrors, Footsteps where nobody goes. Every shadow hides a secret, Every grave has something close! [Pre-Chorus — Rising tension] Are you afraid of the dark? Are you afraid of the dead? Are you afraid of the things That live inside your head? Don't close your eyes! Don't turn away! The things you fear are here to stay! [Chorus — Powerful, catchy, danceable] PUMPKIN! PUMPKIN! BURNING IN THE NIGHT! GRINNING WITH MY TEETH OF FIRE! FEEDING ON YOUR FRIGHT! SCREAM NOW! SCREAM NOW! LET THE NIGHTMARE RISE! DANCE WITH THE DEAD UNTIL THE MORNING LIGHT! BOOM-BOOM! HEARTBEAT! KNOCK-KNOCK! WHO'S THERE? I'M THE CURSED PUMPKIN! AND I'M EVERYWHERE! [Verse 2 — Groovy, sinister delivery] Ghosts are dancing in the graveyard, Witches circling the moon. Something scratches at your window, Something's coming for you soon. Fear of dying, fear of living, Fear of being left alone. Fear that when you call for help, No one answers on the phone. Haunted schools and empty hospitals, Creaking stairs and doors that slam. You can blame it on your nightmares… BUT I KNOW EXACTLY WHO I AM! [Pre-Chorus 2 — Choir building] Are you afraid of what you see? Are you afraid of what might be? When every light begins to fade, You'll meet the monster that you made! [Chorus — Full drums, heavy bass, backing vocals] PUMPKIN! PUMPKIN! BURNING IN THE NIGHT! GRINNING WITH MY TEETH OF FIRE! FEEDING ON YOUR FRIGHT! SCREAM NOW! SCREAM NOW! LET THE NIGHTMARE RISE! DANCE WITH THE DEAD UNTIL THE MORNING LIGHT! BOOM-BOOM! HEARTBEAT! KNOCK-KNOCK! WHO'S THERE? I'M THE CURSED PUMPKIN! AND I'M EVERYWHERE! [Bridge — Spoken, theatrical horror voice] You thought you knew terror? You thought you'd seen it all? Remember Thriller? Remember the dead rising at the call? Michael made the monsters dance… But now the shadows want their chance! The graveyard opens… The candles die… A thousand dead things Open their eyes! [Instrumental Break — Funky horror bass, sharp synth stabs, eerie laughter] HAHAHAHAHAHA! [Verse 3 — Aggressive, monstrous vocals] I was buried beneath the roots, Fed by secrets, fed by lies. Now my fire burns forever, And my face has hollow eyes. I don't want your gold or silver, I don't want your blood alone. I want every fear you've hidden, Every nightmare you've ever known! The clock strikes one… The clock strikes two… The dead are dancing… AND THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU! [Final Chorus — Explosive, gang vocals] PUMPKIN! PUMPKIN! BURNING IN THE NIGHT! GRINNING WITH MY TEETH OF FIRE! FEEDING ON YOUR FRIGHT! SCREAM NOW! SCREAM NOW! LET THE NIGHTMARE RISE! DANCE WITH THE DEAD UNTIL THE MORNING LIGHT! BOOM-BOOM! HEARTBEAT! KNOCK-KNOCK! WHO'S THERE? I'M THE CURSED PUMPKIN! I'M THE KING OF YOUR DESPAIR! [Outro — Music slows, heartbeat fades] Blow out the candle… Turn off the light… You made it through Halloween… You survived the night… But tomorrow… When the sun goes down… I'll be waiting. Hehehehehe… TRICK OR TREAT… SWEET DREAMS… AND DON'T MAKE A SOUND.
