Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've seen the Book of Tales
Crafted by magical hands
Older than time itself
Its pages are filled with darkness and mystery
[Verse 2]
There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul beneath the bed
Now it's coming through the walls
Now it's comin' up the stairs
There's a spirit in the dark
Hear the beating of his heart, can you feel it in the air?
Ghostly haunting everywhere
[Verse 3]
Is that scary for you, baby?
Am I scary for you?
Is this scary for you, baby?
Is this scary for you?
You know the stranger is you
Is you scared for your baby?
[Verse 4]
There's a creaking in the floor
There's a creep behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair but nobody's sitting there
There's a ghastly smell around but nobody to be found
And a coffin, it lay open where a restless soul is pokin'
[Verse 5]
I am gonna be exactly what you gonna see
So did you come to me to see your fantasies?
Perform before your very eyes a haunting, ghostly treat
Dark, ghoulish trickery and spirits dancing in the night
But if you came to see the truth, the purity
It's here inside a lonely heart so let the performance start
[Verse 6]
(A nightmare, that's the case, Never-Neverland, that's the place)
(A monster that you can see disappear)
(A monster, the worst thing to fear)
[Verse 7]
The king has risen
All hail, the king has risen
All hail, the king has risen
All hail, the king has risen
[Verse 8]
You're by yourself but it's my touch you felt
I'm not a ghost from Hell
But I've got a spell on you
[Verse 9]
You should be watchin' me, you should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you creep, you should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks, she speaks to me threatened
Half of me you'll never be, so you should be threatened by me
[Verse 10]
You should be watchin' me, you should feel threatened
While you sleep, while you creep, you should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks, she speaks to me threatened
Half of me you'll never be, so you should be threatened by me
[Verse 11]
(What you have just witnessed could be the end of a particularly)
(Terrifying nightmare, it isn't)
(It's the beginning)
