[Intro: Ghostly Howls, Distant Thunder, Eerie Whisper] Shhh... listen... do you hear them marching? [Verse 1: Low Strings, Broken Heartbeat Drums] Ghouls and hounds, bones from the ground, Spider in your hair, goblins for a scare. Mummies come to town, swamp things ooze around, Bats fly in the dark, werewolves gnaw and howl. [Build: Warped Music Box, Rising Choir] Count the footsteps, one by one, The midway closes, but the night’s begun. Under painted canvas, something turns the key, Every empty grin is staring back at me. [Drop: Theoretical Bass, Stuttering IDM Drums, Ghost Choir] Banshees serenade in the Nightmares Parade! Clitter and clack, skeletons sway front to back, Cyclops glare, troll scratch and shriek, For tasty morsels to eat! [Verse 2: Sinister Baritone, Syncopated Bass] Sirens sing to lure your heart, Vampires wait where the curtains part. Zombies lurch, a headless wail, Beast with pointed tail. Beast of hair and beast of fur, Things there are no names for, Love to misbehave... In the Nightmares Parade! [Instrumental: Glitch Carnival Interlude] [Verse 3: Rhythmic Monster Chant] Ooze and slime, creatures of dirt and mold, Reapers’ blades, talon and claw unfold. Things with teeth that love to gnaw, Eyes in the deep behind the door. Tentacles over the ground they creep, Ancient monsters rising from stone sleep. Dragons roar from hidden caves, Spooky stares and backward owls behave. Wolves in the distance call, The parade is hunting all! [Bridge: Slow Creepy Lullaby, Music Box] And before we say goodnight, Grab your pillow, hold it tight. Monsters in the closet, just out of sight, Silent footprints cross the dusty floor. Now they’re gone, you see no more. So you lay your weary head, But there’s a noise beneath the bed... [Final Drop: Massive Bass Impact, Full Choir, Broken Drums] A whisper says we go where all nightmares go, To the realm beyond the door. Restless souls in rows are laid, Forevermore beneath the parade. Banshees serenade in the Nightmares Parade! Clitter and clack, skeletons sway front to back, The tent is shut, the ticket torn, Yet something waits until the dawn. [Outro: Whisper, Thunder Crack, Fading Music Box] In the Nightmares Parade... Muhahahahah!
