Lyrics

[Intro – Piano & Slide Guitar]
(Soft, eerie keys; ambient sounds of waves and thunder)
🎶
On a quiet lake, where the dead don’t sleep,
A legend’s buried way too deep.
He waits beneath, in blackest tide,
’Til lightning wakes the fear inside…

⸻

[Verse 1 – Slow & Bluesy]
Jim and Suzi, love on the waves,
Never knew they’d find their graves.
A mask, a tale, a deadly spark,
Brought Jason back out of the dark.

A prank turned scream, a kiss turned cold,
That hockey mask was bought and sold.
And just like that, the lake stood still,
’Til Jason rose, dressed to kill.

⸻

[Chorus – Big Rock Ballad Energy]
🎤
🎶 Midnight on the Hudson, blood on the tide,
He’s got a one-way ticket and nowhere to hide.
From the halls of high school to the streets so mean,
He’s cutting through dreams like a guillotine.*
🎶
You can run, you can cry, you can pray or fight,
But death wears a mask in the city lights…
Yeah, it’s midnight on the Hudson,
And Jason’s feeling right.

⸻

[Verse 2 – Driving Bass & Guitar Licks]
Guitar strings snap, the disco dies,
Tamara screams, and Eva cries.
Julius swings ‘til his knuckles break,
But one punch seals his final fate.

Rennie sees that drowning boy,
In every mirror, every noise.
She runs from shadows, guilt and flame,
Haunted by water, cursed by his name.

⸻

[Chorus – With Harmonica Underneath]
🎶 Midnight on the Hudson, don’t look down,
There’s a killer walkin’ through the underground.
Through smoke and fire, through love and fear,
He don’t stop movin’ when death is near.*
🎶
She fights, he burns, the sewers flood,
Toxic tears in the New York mud.
Yeah, it’s midnight on the Hudson,
And Jason smells blood.

⸻

[Bridge – Emotional Breakdown]
🎤
(Spoken)
“You threw me in… made me drown… now I’m back to pull you down…”

🎶
Toxic rain fallin’ like fate,
Rennie climbs while he meets his hate.
A boy beneath that monster’s skin,
Dyin’ for peace he’ll never win…

⸻

[Final Chorus – Full Power Ballad]
🎶 Midnight on the Hudson, time to pay,
He’s washed away but the scars will stay.
From Crystal Lake to the neon gleam,
He cut through horror like a fever dream.*
🎶
Let the water rise, let the streets forget,
But love and death still make a duet…
Yeah, it’s midnight on the Hudson,
And they ain’t safe yet.

⸻

[Outro – Soft Piano + Guitar Fade]
🎶
Toby waits on a silent street,
Two lovers walk, hearts still beat.
But behind each alley, every light,
Jason’s shadow stalks the night…
