Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawling in search of blood
To terrorize yours neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for "getting down"
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive, your body starts… to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of… the thriller.
