Ghouls in the Shadows

Intro

Look.

October thirty-first.

When the sun goes down, the monsters come out to play.

Trick or treat?

Nah, don't play with us.

The whole city's dark.

Listen.

Verse 1

Step in the fog and your breath turns cold,

Horror stories on the block being told.

No costuming here, man's wearing the mask,

Executing a tactical task.

The moon is full, shining bright in the sky,

See the shadows moving as the bats fly by.

Michael Myers with the way that I glide,

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

Jack-o'-lanterns burning bright on the porch,

But we step through the shadows, no need for a torch.

Spooky hours, yeah, the wolves start to howl,

Watch your step when we're out on the prowl.

Hook

Bow! Trick or treat, man, choose your fate,

Don't be lingering late at the gate.

Ghouls in the shadows, ghosts in the street,

Heavy 808s making 'em retreat.

Yeah, ice in the veins, no panic allowed,

Phantoms rising up out of the cloud.

Stand my ground in the dead of the night,

Give 'em a shock, give 'em a fright.

Verse 2

Vampires out and they're looking for blood,

Witches brewing up a storm in the mud.

Cobwebs hanging all over the wall,

One wrong step and you're destined to fall.

Frankenstein's monster, the way that we march,

Under the cold cemetery arch.

They talk about horror movies they've seen,

But nothing compares to the real Halloween.

Candy corn or a trick in the bag?

Step out of line and your spirit will lag.

Keep your eyes open, don't slip in the dark,

We're leaving a curse, leaving a mark.

Bridge

The clock strikes midnight, the witching hour arrives,

People praying for their regular lives.

But the spirits are loose and they're walking the earth,

Show you what a real scare is worth.

Hear that footsteps behind you in the lane?

Driving you insane...

Hook

Bow! Trick or treat, man, choose your fate,

Don't be lingering late at the gate.

Ghouls in the shadows, ghosts in the street,

Heavy 808s making 'em retreat.

Yeah, ice in the veins, no panic allowed,

Phantoms rising up out of the cloud.

Stand my ground in the dead of the night,

Give 'em a shock, give 'em a fright.

Verse 3

Back from the dead and we're raising the stakes,

Zombies climbing up out of the lakes!

No silver bullets can stop what we do,

Arteta's army, we're haunting the crew.

Spitting these bars like an exorcist spell,

Ringing the death knell, loud as a bell.

Three verses deep in the underworld zone,

Man got a skeleton sitting on the throne.

Haunted house vibes when we step on the stage,

Locking the scene in a supernatural cage!

Hook

Bow! Trick or treat, man, choose your fate,

Don't be lingering late at the gate.

Ghouls in the shadows, ghosts in the street,

Heavy 808s making 'em retreat.

Yeah, ice in the veins, no panic allowed,

Phantoms rising up out of the cloud.

Stand my ground in the dead of the night,

Give 'em a shock, give 'em a fright.

Outro

Yeah.

October thirty-first.

The night belongs to us.

Keep your doors locked.

Don't look under the bed.

Happy Halloween.
