This road has a history takes you back through the years a family of inbreeds yea, they're not the norm It was told they didn't fear But too distant to tell on this very night A Grinch they will spear one oozes out, another one will rise decrepit pumpkin shells ascending from hell oh ..... Jacks Lantern 2x as they walk to a dark house dragging all along leaving a trail behind squashing every mouse they open the door what do they see a grumpy little bitch they will kill searching more one oozes out another then one will rise the witch takes her broom inside his brew rising through the smoke glowing its face decrepit pumpkin shells Slaying the night, dead one by one This could be you, don’t turn off the lights Just a treat they will need and nothing more the trick is on you, better be there this night tonight! oh.... Jacks lantern

Thorazine 03:07
Injected by the teeth which pierces the neck a hazy reality urges start to rise sense become stronger I go deeper and deeper My head is transforming, I've lost control The prowl I seek more blood this drug controls your fate......... this fire burns me inside my teeth sink into the night I'm hungry for power more power Thorazine I need some more The edge of the drug is grasping on me I could sense my voices screeching deep within back to my life with blood on my hands who believes innocence when tainted I have been
4.
With your complicated apparatus In your elaborate laboratory Doctor Frankenstein won't you create us Something terrifying for us to see now And ooh, we like to be frightened We like to see something that takes away our breath Now ooh, we like to be frightened We like to see something that scares us half to death Ooh-ooh-ooh With your dangerous dental arrangement In your creepy old crumbling chateau Count Dracula showed us what "strange" meant When you started in talking so slow And ooh, we like to be frightened We like to see something that takes away our breath now ooh, we like to be frightened We like to see something that scares us half to death Ooh-ooh-ooh And when I take my baby to a movie show It's got to be a horror flick or she won't go I just want to tell you that it's out of sight When it starts getting scary, she's holding me tight With your split-personality potion That covers all your body with hair Doctor Jekyll, won't you go through the motions So Mister Hyde can give us a scare? Chorus Outro chorus

Beyond the dark, the darkened cell It's in these hours, it feels like hell what's that shape approaching me Its right beyond the closet door...... Red eyes sharp knife death stare In Fear Beyond the Closet Door I feel taken by what I see she. she's so electrifying how can this be I'm being lured from beyond the closet door Gentle curves all exposed She points her finger I move on in Red eyes sharp knife it doesn't matter what's beyond the closet door I can't resist. I can't resist I'm attracted to that soulless witch I can't resist. I can't resist I touched a demon from beyond that door Gentle curves all exposed She points her finger I move on in Red eyes sharp knife death stare in fear Beyond the closet door

Werewolf 01:06
On A bright foggy night the werewolf attacks Full speed the werewolf attacks
7.
One of Us 02:52
You can't fight it join us Feel it power one of us The pledge that rebels take The promise devils break The history keeps rolling on and on and on You can be weak or...or you can be strong The pledge that rebels make The oath that angels take The legacy keeps rolling on and on and on You can be weak or...or you can be strong You can be weak or you can die...

Its not a Nightmare when being induced by a demon at night Sa-Duc-tion Lilu appears in erotic dreams. ahhhh….Swallow your soul, she’ll swallow you whole ahhh….Take control, she’ll take control of you tonight Heresy Undertow Feels good down below Heresy Undertow Ex-or-cisms Might be a way to relinquish the stroke But why take away Something so naughty if it feels so good
9.
Come back to me I need to feed More blood More life then I'll tear you down I speak to her see brings to me More blood More life then Ill tear you down Tortured into this world slaughter I need some more These chains they hang for you they wait More blood More life then I'll tear you down Obsessed with pain and pleased with hate More blood More life then I'll tear you down Tortured into this world slaughter I need some more They come into this world wrap you up in chains these beasts awoke and spread a thousand miles of pain cut your arms and legs tear you to pieces Her lust for love get me higher Her lust for death I can't deny her
10.
Witch Rites 03:50
Cutting heads and burning of flesh it's all part of these Witch Rites shrieking laughs and hideous glare yes its ugly, nothing pretty tonight no more running, no more hiding just what you see is what you will get All the rituals, cauldrons and spells oh yes its real, ive seen it before Witch rites commence… Darks forest in the middle of night walk to the cabin, please walk right in Cutting heads and burning of flesh it's all part of these Witch Rites shrieking laughs and a hideous glare yes its ugly, nothing pretty tonight All the rituals, cauldrons and spells oh yes its real, ive seen it before
