Shadows of the Unknown

[Intro] *(Wolves howling, eerie ambient synth, distant whispers layered with a pulsing 80s funk bassline)* [Verse 1] The fog crawls low on Hollow’s Eve, Streetlights flicker, shadows breathe. A mask of truth, a veil of lies, Whispers taunt from pumpkin eyes. “Is this a dream or twisted fate?” The clock strikes dread, it’s getting late… Reality bends, the walls decay, A nightmare walks in broad moonlight’s gray. [Pre-Chorus] *(Haunting vocal chop, trip-hop b**t drop)* Heartbeat thrums like a w*r drum’s cry, Ghosts in the mirror wave goodbye. “Run or stay?” The silence screams, This world’s not what it seems… [Chorus] Dance with phantoms in the static haze, Halloween’s claws cut through the maze. Real or unreal, the line’s erased— The nightmare’s alive, and it wears my face. *(Dark ambient swell, distorted guitar riff)* [Verse 2] A figure cloaked in ash and flame, No name, no face, just bloodstained chains. Chase me through the cemetery’s spine, Laughter echoes, “You’re running out of time!” The ground splits wide, a spectral hand— “Wake up! Wake up!” But I can’t land… [Pre-Chorus] *(Synth stabs, funk groove intensifies)* Shadows writhe like serpents unleashed, Truth is a feast the demons eat. Am I the hunter or the prey? The answer melts in the masquerade… [Chorus] Dance with phantoms in the static haze, Halloween’s claws cut through the maze. Real or unreal, the line’s erased— The nightmare’s alive, and it wears my face. [Bridge] *(Alternative rock breakdown, dissonant strings)* Trapped in the loop of midnight’s trance, The void hums a lethal dance. “Break the mirror, shatter the veil!” But the reflection’s teeth never fail… [Outro Narration] *(Deep, distorted voice over sinister laugh)* “Terror is the whisper when logic dies, Fear is the shadow that eats the sky. You cling to ‘real’—a fragile thread, But Halloween’s realm… *laughs*… you’re already d**d.” [Final Chorus] Dance with phantoms in the static haze, Halloween’s claws cut through the maze. Real or unreal, the line’s erased— The nightmare’s alive… *sinister laugh fades*. [Outro] *(Sinister laugh echoes, 80s funk bass dissolves into dark ambient drones)*
