As the evening turns and light begins to fade away Happiness is growing greyer in the wake of day Don your mask and outfit, Ready everything you need Whether you're a creature, monster, or a demon steed Raise your head up high in preparation for the night Go and head outside, be careful, it's a chilling sight Sun is starting to set, listen to the children scream Keep your eyes wide open, Trust me, this is not a DREAM! Everypony's afraid, It's that time of year Get ready to run, when the coast is clear Everything you hate, Everything you fear (Is) coming out tonight, SCREAM FOR ME, MY DEAR! It's fun, it's fine It's not like our life is on the line Just Give it time, This is NIGHTMARE NIGHT WHAT A FRIGHT GIVE ME SOMETHING SWEET TO BITE Lurking in the shadows, Waiting for an easy prey Something she would never do while in the light of day Still she's getting worse, in ways no one alive could see Taking ponies hostage with growing audacity But tonight is different, while they're all dressed in disguise Out at night, and clueless of their impending demise Carrying them off, the filly to the bakery Piling them up then serving them to you and me! Everypony's afraid, It's that time of year Get ready to run, when the coast is clear Everything you hate, Everything you fear (Is) coming out tonight, SCREAM FOR ME, MY DEAR! She's lost her mind You're running out of time. END OF THE LINE this is NIGHTMARE NIGHT! WHAT A FRIGHT GIVE ME SOMETHING SWEET TO BITE NIGHTMARE NIGHT NOTHING RIGHT SOMETHING BROKE, IT'S A DELIGHT! Something's not right This quiet town is getting dark tonight RUN FOR YOUR LIFE This is NIGHTMARE NIGHT! WHAT A FRIGHT MAKE ME SOMETHING SWEET TO BITE NIGHTMARE NIGHT! FEEL THE KNIFE CART ME OFF AND TAKE MY LIFE
