[Intro – Music box / carnival sounds]
Close your eyes…
The night is young…
The candles are burning…
The show has begun.
Welcome to the dream you wanted…
The dream you’ll never leave.
[Verse 1]
The moon paints silver on the street tonight,
Pumpkin smiles glowing in the candlelight.
The candy rivers flow, the colors shine,
A perfect little world where everything is mine.
The children dance in their costumes bright,
Skeletons singing under neon lights.
The ghosts all laugh, the witches fly,
A beautiful nightmare across the sky.
The houses are made of gingerbread dreams,
The trees whisper softly in Halloween screams.
Every door opens, every wish comes true…
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t give to you.
[Pre-Chorus]
But something feels wrong in this paradise,
The smiles are frozen, the laughter’s too nice.
The clocks stopped turning, the shadows grew…
And every monster looks just like you.
[Chorus – Heavy Drop]
Welcome to my perfect dream,
Where nothing is as it seems.
The stars are falling, the sky is red,
The ghosts are dancing with the dead.
The candy’s sweet, the roses bloom,
But every flower grows from a tomb.
You wanted magic, you wanted the night…
Now Halloween owns your life.
[Verse 2 – Darker, Rob Zombie inspired]
The carousel spins with a crooked grin,
Inviting every lost soul in.
The puppet masters pull their strings,
While the choir of shadows begins to sing.
The jack-o’-lanterns call your name,
Every flame burns exactly the same.
The mirror shows what you refuse to see,
A perfect monster staring back at me.
The haunted house opens wide,
With no place left for you to hide.
The walls are breathing, the floors are alive,
Welcome to the place where nightmares survive.
[Bridge – Slow breakdown / whispered vocals]
I built this world from forgotten fears…
Painted it gold with childhood tears.
Every memory, every scar…
Every ghost that followed from afar.
You thought you found your paradise…
But you paid the final price.
[Final Chorus – Explosive]
Welcome to my perfect dream,
The darkest place you’ve ever seen.
The moon is laughing, the shadows scream,
You’re trapped inside my Halloween.
The candy melts, the candles die,
The monsters wave as you say goodbye.
You chased the magic, you chased the light…
But the dream was a nightmare…
Dressed up like Halloween night.
[Outro – Music box fading]
The party’s over…
The guests are gone…
But your perfect dream…
Still carries on.
