Night of Shadows

Verse 1:
Streetlights flicker, whispers call,
Pumpkin eyes glow down the hall.
Children laugh through haunted air,
Footsteps echo — no one’s there.

Pre-Chorus:
Behind the masks, the truth decays,
The night remembers all our names...

Chorus:
Welcome to the night of shadows,
Where the ghosts come out to play.
Sweet like sin and cold like sorrow,
Trick or treat — we fade away.
Verse 2:
Candle smoke and broken glass,
Time dissolves, reflections pass.
Candy melts like bleeding dreams,
Nothing’s ever what it seems.

Pre-Chorus:
The veil is thin, the dead can see,
And they’re all staring back at me...

Chorus:
Welcome to the night of shadows,
Where the ghosts come out to play.
Sweet like sin and cold like sorrow,
Trick or treat — we fade away.

Bridge:
Dancing bones beneath the moon,
The clock will strike its final tune.
If you whisper, they might hear,
Every wish becomes a fear.

Final Chorus:
Welcome to the night of shadows,
Take my hand and lose your way.
Pumpkins burn and angels follow,
Trick or treat — we fade away.

(fade out with echoing whispers and slow heartbeat rhythm)
