[Intro] [Soft piano and distant choir, building tension] [Verse 1] The clock strikes twelve, the veil grows thin Shadows stir where the living begin Porcelain masks and eyes that burn On this night the quiet ones return [Pre-Chorus] Cold wind carries names we used to know Through the leaves and the candle glow [Chorus] Come into my arms, let the darkness call All Hallows’ embrace, we rise and fall Moonlight paints the graves in silver light Hold me close through the witching night [Verse 2] Whispers rise from the cold, cold ground Promises kept when no one is around Your hand in mine, steady as the stone On Halloween we are never alone [Pre-Chorus] No fear in the dark, only the thrill Of hearts that beat against their will [Chorus] Come into my arms, let the darkness call All Hallows’ embrace, we rise and fall Moonlight paints the graves in silver light Hold me close through the witching night [Bridge] [Orchestral swell, then heavy drop] Masks fall away, the truth remains Love that walks when the daylight wanes [Final Chorus] Come into my arms, let the darkness call All Hallows’ embrace, we rise and fall Moonlight paints the graves in silver light Hold me close through the witching night [Outro] [Choir and piano fade into silence]
