Track Insight / Lyrics
[Intro: Eerie electric harp, distant church bells,
[Choir,
One night a year...
No judgment...
No fear...
They can keep their Christmas morning
All the silver, all the gold
I'll take the shadows of October
And the nights when winds turn cold
When the moon climbs over rooftops
And the darkness comes to play
You can choose to wear a mask
Or throw the one you wear away
[Pre-Chorus: Rising guitars,
You can be a witch
You can be a monster
You can be anything
That you can muster
No one cares what lies beneath
Just come alive and set yourself free
[Chorus: Heavy guitars, powerful drums,
I LOVE HALLOWEEN MORE THAN CHRISTMAS!
Give me darkness, give me screams!
Where the strange and the forgotten
Get to live their wildest dreams!
ONE NIGHT A YEAR!
You can be your true self!
Nothing to hide!
Nothing to fear!
Nobody judges!
Nobody blames you!
Everybody belongs here!
One night a year!
One night a year!
You can be a king or queen
A creature from a nightmare
A ghost that haunts the living
Or something beyond compare
You can be a ghoul
You can be a banshee
Be whoever you want to be
And everybody understands
No one points a finger
No one tells you who to be
For one night in October
The whole damn world is free
[Pre-Chorus: Eerie harp, deep pounding heartbeat,
[Low heartbeat begins: THUMP... THUMP...]
Let the witches cast a spell
Let the monsters take the streets
Let the darkness come alive
To the sound of pounding heartbeats
[Heartbeat grows louder, drums follow its rhythm,
[Chorus: Full choir,
I LOVE HALLOWEEN MORE THAN CHRISTMAS!
Give me darkness, give me screams!
Where the strange and the forgotten
Get to live their wildest dreams!
ONE NIGHT A YEAR!
You can be your true self!
Nothing to hide!
Nothing to fear!
Nobody judges!
Nobody blames you!
Everybody belongs here!
[Bridge: Eerie harp,
[Choir,
No judgment...
No shame...
No fear...
No blame...
[Lead vocal,
Why should we hide
Who we are inside?
Why does it take one night
To finally feel alive?
BE WHO YOU ARE!
BE WHO YOU ARE!
[Lead vocalist,
LET THE MONSTERS COME ALIVE!
[Final Chorus: Explosive guitars, double-kick drums,
I LOVE HALLOWEEN MORE THAN CHRISTMAS!
Let the whole damn world hear me!
For one night beneath the moonlight
We can all be wild and free!
ONE NIGHT A YEAR!
We can be our true selves!
Nothing to hide!
Nothing to fear!
Nobody judges!
Nobody blames you!
Everybody belongs here!
[Outro: Heavy guitars fade,
[Choir,
One night a year...
One night a year...
[Lead vocal,
If we can be ourselves tonight...
[Lead vocal,
THEN HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Happy Halloween...
Happy Halloween...
