MIDNIGHT NIGHTMARE

[Intro] (Sound of a heavy iron gate creaking open) (Slow, menacing synth bass kicks in) (Echoed finger snaps and a distant wolf howl) [Verse 1] The moon is bleeding through the cracked window pane You hear a whisper but you can’t call a name A cold shiver’s running down your spine tonight There’s no escaping from the shadows out of sight You’re frozen stiff, you’re paralyzed in fear The midnight hour is finally drawing near! [Pre-Chorus] (Hee-hee!) You try to run, you try to hide But there’s a hunger deep inside They’re crawling out, they’re on the prowl You hear the echo of a demonic growl! [Chorus] This is the Nightmare, baby Under the silver light of a dying sun This is the Nightmare, baby You better pray because there’s nowhere to run (Ow!) [Verse 2] They’re rising up from the dust and the clay To take your soul before the break of day No magic spell can save you from the hex You’re just a heartbeat, waiting for what’s next The walking dead are dancing at your door And now you’re screaming, begging them for more! [Bridge] (Music strips back to just the heavy bass and drums) (Spoken with a dark, rhythmic rasp) Darkness falls across the land The master plan is close at hand No mortal soul can resist the beat Of the rhythmic pulse beneath their feet (High-pitched Michael-style ad-lib: "Hoo!") [Guitar Solo] (Aggressive, melodic 80s rock solo - think Eddie Van Halen style) [Chorus] This is the Nightmare, baby Under the silver light of a dying sun This is the Nightmare, baby You better pray because there’s nowhere to run [Outro] (Nightmare... it’s a nightmare...) Don’t look behind you! (Hee-hee! Shamone!) (Song fades out with a deep, cinematic evil laugh)
