Skolnick, Peterson Lyrics: Souza, Peterson BRIDGE: Hear the screams,screams of fright Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting night CHORUS: Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For a haunting we will go See their dreams come to life Under pressure holding tight Feel the cold grabbing hold To feed you to the haunting night Evil witch black as pitch Starts a fire with a flinch Burning fire rising higher Making music like a choir Stay away from the shining light Can't seem to find the answer there Bring back the terror in the night That we all share tonight Check Out
