[Verse 1] Four friends walking down a darkened street Halloween masks and costumes neat An old house glowing orange and red "Come taste my candy," the old woman said [Pre-Chorus] Red foil wrappers, secrets inside One bite and there's nowhere to hide [Chorus] When the mask becomes the truth When the magic steals your youth Fur and fangs and ghostly light On this magic Halloween night What you wear becomes what's real Can you face what you now feel? [Verse 2] Joakim laughed in his costume jest Lara Croft with an exaggerated chest "It's just a joke, can't you all see?" But magic doesn't care what you meant to be [Pre-Chorus] Bodies shifting, changing fast Nothing human, nothing past [Chorus] When the mask becomes the truth When the magic steals your youth Fur and fangs and ghostly light On this magic Halloween night What you wear becomes what's real Can you face what you now feel? [Bridge] Markus howls beneath the moon Lars runs faster than a typhoon Eirik floats through walls of stone Joakim stands, confused, alone [Verse 3] "Why do they stare? I feel exposed" In borrowed skin and borrowed clothes Learning lessons through the fear Of being seen and standing here [Pre-Chorus] Through the darkness, finding friends Magic gives but never ends [Chorus] When the mask becomes the truth When the magic steals your youth Fur and fangs and ghostly light On this magic Halloween night What you wear becomes what's real Now you know just what they feel [Outro] Morning sun, the spell released But something stays—at least a piece Long hair flowing, truth revealed Identity no longer sealed The old woman smiles and fades away "The magic in you... it will stay" [Spoken Word Ending] "Halloween is the night when masks become truth... But the real magic? It was always inside you." [End]
