Nightmare Marionette by SaraLex

[Verse 1: Tight 4-on-the-floor dance rock groove, pulsing synth bass and sharp rhythmic guitar cutting]
A carved pumpkin smile torn side to side
A stitched-up ghost town where the monsters hide
Bone-white fingers snapping in time
Who's caught in the shadows of the pale moonlight?
"Trick or treat" is a childish plea
Sweet little begging means nothing to me
[Spoken, crisp and cheeky] I only take.

[Pre-Chorus: Ascending theatrical strings, driving disco hi-hat, dark masquerade tension]
A drop of sweet poison, drink it down
Cobwebs draping the chandelier crown
Midnight clock strikes the fateful hour
[Whispered] Scream for me.

[Chorus: Incredibly catchy soaring Gothic Dance Rock chorus! Sweeping strings, harpsichord and dance groove]
Dance! In the twisted Halloween night!
A lonely marionette stepping in the light
Even the Pumpkin King holds his breath
For a midnight waltz sweeter than death!
The crooked moon laughs as the shadows sway
Echoes the Nightmare Melodie!

[Interlude: Theatrical harpsichord and funky rhythmic guitar duel, playful string accents]
[Spoken] Trick or Nightmare... Can you really escape?

[Verse 2: Crisp dance groove, punchy bass and theatrical vocal flow]
A black cat purrs on the crooked roof
Phantoms sipping tea in aristocratic aloof
Lie in your coffin, close your eyes
Under the eerie lantern skies
Strange little footprints out in the blue
[Spoken] Ready? Boo!

[Pre-Chorus: Rising dramatic tension, pulsing electro beat and dramatic strings]
No turning back on this winding street
The dark abyss opens right beneath your feet
Before the iron cathedral bell chimes out
[Spoken] Raise the velvet curtain now!

[Bridge: Halftime dark gothic waltz groove, quirky harpsichord and deep synth pulse]
[Spoken, decadent, sinister whisper]
「If nobody saves you... this entire town belongs to me.」
[Sung with fragile, haunting beauty]
One, two, three... shadows blur in the mist
Breathless and cold in a venomous kiss
Keep your eyes locked only on me.

[Guitar & Harpsichord Solo: Stylish, rhythmic, theatrical guitar cutting and dramatic classical flourishes]

[Chorus: Maximum dance-rock energy! Soaring crystal soprano, full disco-rock beat and sweeping strings]
Dance! In the twisted Halloween night!
A lonely marionette stepping in the light
Even the Pumpkin King holds his breath
For a midnight waltz sweeter than death!
Though the sun may rise and the world may fade
Never ends the Nightmare Melodie!

[Outro: Tight funky 4-on-the-floor groove fading out with harpsichord and lonely clock ticking]
[Whispered]
Happy Nightmare...
See you at the next full moon.」
