Darkness falls across the land/ The midnight hour is close at hand/ Creatures crawl in search of blood/ To terrorize y'all's neighborhood/ And whosoever shall be found/ Without the soul for getting down/ Must stand and face the hounds of hell/ And rot inside a copse's shell. The foulest stench is in the air/ The funk of 40,000 years/ And grizzly 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!!!
