NIGHTMARE SEASON — Xpollo X

Текст песни

[INTRO — Whispered, low voice, ticking clock, thunder] Tick... tock... tick... tock... They say the devil comes out after dark But they ain't seen what lives inside my heart October nights, the whole city's freezing Welcome to nightmare season [VERSE 1 — Calm, deep rhythmic rap] Midnight hit, now the streetlights flicker Black clouds roll and the shadows get thicker Mask on my face but the scars still show Got a whole lotta demons that nobody knows Purple eyes cutting straight through the mist Hear a knock at the door, better think 'fore you twist Everybody love a monster till the monster gets loose Now the whole town running when they hear my boots I ain't come for blood, I came for the thrill Moonlight dancing on the windowsill Xpollo stay calm, let the whole world breathe But X got a laugh that'll haunt your dreams [PRE-CHORUS — Haunting melodic R&B] Can you hear that sound? Footsteps underneath the ground Don't turn around, don't make a sound Something wicked's coming now [CHORUS — Powerful melodic hook, choir harmonies] It's nightmare season, run for your life Shadows keep dancing in the dead of the night Oh-oh-oh, can you feel that chill? Something in the darkness and it knows you're here It's nightmare season, nowhere to hide One face in the mirror but there's two inside Oh-oh-oh, when the clock strikes three Don't you say my name, don't you summon me [POST-CHORUS — Whispered echo] X... X... X... Welcome to nightmare season Ha-ha-ha... [VERSE 2 — Aggressive double-time rap, distorted guitars] Black cat crossed, now the bad luck follows Full moon high and the whole street hollow Footsteps echo but nobody's there Cold wind blowing through the midnight air I can hear the whispers from the other side Every little secret that the dark can't hide I walk with the ghosts but they know my name Purple lightning flash when I step in the rain You can lock every door, you can cover every light But you can't lock away what you carry inside I'm the calm and the chaos, the peace and the rage Two different souls on the very same stage [PRE-CHORUS — Soft haunting vocal, rising tension] Can you hear that sound? Footsteps underneath the ground Don't turn around, don't make a sound Something wicked's coming now [CHORUS — Full drums, heavy bass, layered harmonies] It's nightmare season, run for your life Shadows keep dancing in the dead of the night Oh-oh-oh, can you feel that chill? Something in the darkness and it knows you're here It's nightmare season, nowhere to hide One face in the mirror but there's two inside Oh-oh-oh, when the clock strikes three Don't you say my name, don't you summon me [BRIDGE — Spoken character switch, heartbeat, music drops] [Xpollo — Soft, calm voice] I told you not to open that door Some things are better left sleeping [X — Deep distorted whisper] But you woke me up And now everybody's screaming [BREAKDOWN — Screamed rap-rock vocal, heavy guitars] RUN! The walls are shaking! HIDE! The ground is breaking! SCREAM! But nobody hears! WELCOME TO YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE! [FINAL CHORUS — Explosive melodic vocals, choir] It's nightmare season, run for your life Shadows keep dancing in the dead of the night Oh-oh-oh, can you feel that chill? Something in the darkness and it knows you're here It's nightmare season, nowhere to hide One face in the mirror but there's two inside Oh-oh-oh, when the clock strikes three Don't you say my name, don't you summon me [OUTRO — Music box, whispered voice, fading footsteps] They thought it was just a costume They thought it was just a game But when the clock struck midnight Even the shadows knew my name Xpollo is the warning X is what comes next Ha... ha... ha... Happy Halloween [END — Clock strikes midnight, music box stops]
