[Intro – (Orchestral swell + tubular bells + faint children’s choir humming theme)]

[Verse 1 – (Avaline Ingels, soft and emotional)]  
One candle lights the shadow’s way,  
Through haunted halls where spirits play.  
The night is long, but we are near,  
Together strong, we have no fear.

[Pre-Chorus – (Jupiter Morrow, gritty rock edge)]  
Raise your voice, ignite the flame,  
Every soul will sing the name!

[Chorus – (All voices + choir, soaring)]  
Candle in the pumpkin, burning through the night,  
Shining for the living, shining for the fright.  
Raise your voice together, let the shadows see,  
Candle in the pumpkin, sets the spirit free!

[Verse 2 – (Vieira Nova, dramatic theatrical)]  
The bats take flight, the wolves all call,  
But kindness breaks the hardest wall.  
In every hand, the lantern glows,  
A flame of hope that always shows.

[Pre-Chorus – (Jermaine Germaine, soulful groove)]  
Hear the rhythm, feel the sound,  
Every chain falls to the ground!

[Chorus – (All voices + children’s choir, bigger)]  
Candle in the pumpkin, burning through the night,  
Shining for the living, shining for the fright.  
Raise your voice together, let the shadows see,  
Candle in the pumpkin, sets the spirit free!

[Bridge – (Something Else, Vincent Price-style spoken over building orchestra)]  
“The darkness breaks, the voices rise,  
Together singing through the skies.  
No tomb, no grave, no shadowed sea…  
Can silence what was meant to be!”

[Final Double Chorus – (All singers + ghostly choir + children’s choir, full arena sound)]  
Candle in the pumpkin, burning through the night,  
Shining for the living, shining for the fright.  
Raise your voice together, let the shadows see,  
Candle in the pumpkin, sets the spirit free!

(Repeat with ad-libs, soaring harmonies, guitars, choirs, thunder + bells)

[Outro – (Children’s choir softly humming the melody, fading into silence, final candle flicker sound)]
