Anyone bring a canteen? I feel parched.[Male Vocalist 3] Oh no…the valley of dry bones. From the prophecy of Ezekiel.[Male Vocalist 4] That sounds bad.[Skeleton Man] I’m free. Thank you, Brother, for releasing me.[Male Vocalist 3] I will release you, foul dead thing… From your limbs.[Monster] I see you came prepared with sticks. Well, I too have some tricks.[Male Vocalist 3] Let’s dance. You wanna get nuts?[Monster] I’m so glad you said that.[Male Vocalist 3] What the fuuuuck…?[**(Latin Beat Begins)**][Monster] Eze-kiel commands: Dry Bones Get up and Dance, I am your Sweet boogie man Run while you can, Into my van.[Verse 1] [Male Vocalist 1] [**(Ascending melodic contour, smooth and breathy delivery)**] Skeletons rattle in the moonlight’s glow, A mariachi band from the underworld below. With trumpets blaring and bones clacking tight, It’s a bone-chilling fiesta in the dead of night.[Male Vocalist 2] [**(Ascending melodic contour, smooth and breathy delivery)**] These bones ain’t just for show, they groove! Dancing to the rhythm, there’s no way to improve. We came for prophecy but found a bizarre chance, To join the undead in a freaky dance.[Chorus] [Ensemble] [**(Soaring melodic contour, harmonized vocals, powerful and soaring delivery, crescendo leading into chorus)**] Dance, dance, to the eerie beat, In the valley of bones, feel the heat. Horror groove with gothic fright, Under the blood-red moon tonight.[**(Synth Mariachi Trumpet Solo)**] [**(Sparkling synth pads in the background for added texture)**][Verse 2] [Male Vocalist 3] [**(Ascending melodic contour, smooth and breathy delivery)**] The prophecy said nothing ‘bout this beat, A monstrous fiesta, a demonic treat. The monster’s rhythm, it’s pulling us in, To a nightmarish dance, a deadly sin.[Male Vocalist 4] [**(Ascending melodic contour, smooth and breathy delivery)**] With every step, the bones come alive, An undead conga line, we can’t survive. But in this nightmare, we’ll stand and fight, Dancing through the terror, all night.[Chorus] [Ensemble] [**(Soaring melodic contour, harmonized vocals, powerful and soaring delivery, crescendo leading into chorus)**] Dance, dance, to the eerie beat, In the valley of bones, feel the heat. Horror groove with gothic fright, Under the blood-red moon tonight.[Bridge] [Skeleton Man] [**(Contrasting melodic lines, call and response, use reverb for word painting)**] I was once a man, just like you, But now I’m a skeleton, it’s true. The dance keeps me alive, if only for a night, So join the fiesta, embrace the fright.
