THE FINAL ENCORE Featuring Lucien & Belladonna Genre: Gothic Rock • Dark Pop • Haunted Waltz • Halloween Anthem [Intro] [Music Box] • [Reverse Piano] • [Distant Pipe Organ] • [Heartbeat Toms] • [Wind] • [Low Choir] [Spoken] Welcome... The house is full again. Every Halloween... The curtain remembers. You've wandered here for a reason... Take your seat... The show is about to begin. [Verse 1] Dust crowns the velvet... Ash fills the air... Every broken promise Still lingers here. I counted the seasons, Measured the rain... Waiting for footsteps To whisper my name. The spotlight still burns Where my heartbeat died... A king without a kingdom, A ghost with nowhere to hide. [Pre-Chorus] I've watched from the shadows Where candles don't fade. Desire grows stronger The longer it's delayed. Come a little closer... Don't fear the fire... Every forbidden heartbeat Feeds my desire. [Chorus] One more dance beneath the moon... One more kiss will seal your doom... Hear the orchestra begin... Every heartbeat pulls you in. Take your place... Don't fight the call... Every curtain has to fall. When the midnight bells implore... Stay... For The Final Encore. [Verse 2] They call me Belladonna... Beautiful... Deadly... Divine. One taste of forever Is sweeter than wine. Black lace and moonlight... Crimson perfume... Hope always blossoms Inside my gloom. Every frightened heartbeat Sings my refrain... Once you know my name... You'll return again. [Pre-Chorus] The stage remembers... Every face... Every promise... Every embrace... The curtain rises... Candles roar... No one's ever left before. [Chorus] One more dance beneath the moon... One more kiss will seal your doom... Hear the orchestra begin... Every heartbeat pulls you in. Take your place... Don't fight the call... Every curtain has to fall. When the midnight bells implore... Stay... For The Final Encore. [Bridge] [Heartbeat Drums] • [Dark Cello] • [Waterphone] • [Music Box] Were we cursed... Or simply forgotten? Were we feared... Or never understood? Every year I dream of sunrise... Every year I choose the night... If forever is our prison... We'll make forever beautiful. [Instrumental Break] [Pipe Organ Swells] [Distorted Electric Violin Solo] [Bass Clarinet] [Nyckelharpa] [Chains Become Percussion] [Taiko Drums Build] [Towering Choir Enters] [Final Chorus – Lucien & Belladonna] One more dance... Till stars grow cold... One more secret... Never told... Every candle... Every flame... Now the spotlight knows your name. Take your bow... The choice is yours... But once you enter... There's no door. Raise the curtain... Lock it tight... You're the star... Of Halloween night. [Choir] Welcome... To The Final Encore! [Outro] [Music Box Returns] • [Pipe Organ Fades] • [Wind] The audience never leaves... They simply become... ...part of the show. [A theater seat slowly folds down...] [One burst of applause echoes through the empty theater...] [Music box plays the opening melody one final time... Silence.]
