[Intro – crushing groove riff, distant bells] Midnight! The gates are open! [Verse 1 – gritty aggressive male vocal] Black clouds rolling across the moon Something is coming, coming soon Footsteps echo behind the wall Hear the dead when the shadows call Pumpkin fire, burning eyes Lightning cuts through purple skies Graveyard angels turn their heads Tonight we walk among the dead [Pre-Chorus – rising clean vocal] Can you hear the bells? Can you feel the night? The darkness comes alive! [Chorus – soaring melodic power metal vocal] HALLOWEEN! Ride into the night! HALLOWEEN! Let the fire burn bright! Raise your hands, let the thunder roll Feel the darkness in your soul We are alive when the daylight dies HALLOWEEN! TONIGHT WE RISE! [Heavy Groove Riff] [Verse 2 – aggressive vocal] Chains are dragging across the stone Every grave is an open throne Witches circle above the trees Ghosts are dancing in the autumn breeze No more running, nowhere to hide Take the darkness along for the ride Hear that laughter behind your back Once you enter, there’s no turning back [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the bells? Can you feel the night? The darkness comes alive! [Chorus] HALLOWEEN! Ride into the night! HALLOWEEN! Let the fire burn bright! Raise your hands, let the thunder roll Feel the darkness in your soul We are alive when the daylight dies HALLOWEEN! TONIGHT WE RISE! [Breakdown – slow crushing groove] One... Two... Three... MIDNIGHT! The dead are calling! The ground is shaking! The gates are breaking! GO! [Instrumental – heavy groove riff] [Twin Guitar Harmony] [Guitar Solo – melodic, fast, soaring] [Bridge – clean epic vocal] When morning comes The shadows fall Silence returns Beyond the wall But every year When October arrives The moon turns white... AND THE DEAD COME ALIVE! wohaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr [Final Chorus – huge layered vocals] HALLOWEEN! Ride into the night! HALLOWEEN! Let the fire burn bright! Raise your hands, let the thunder roll Feel the darkness in your soul We are alive when the daylight dies HALLOWEEN! TONIGHT WE RISE! HALLOWEEN! Whoa-oh-oh! HALLOWEEN! Whoa-oh-oh! TONIGHT! WE! RISE! [Outro – crushing riff and final bell]
