The sun is shining, shining with its might
But despite it all I don’t see the light
I sense a darkness coming to my town
What was upright is now upside-down
Here comes some strange disease
And I feel so ill at ease
Gonna bring me to my knees
It’s a wicked day
In my neighborhood
It’s a wicked day
No one’s up to no good
No one’s up to no good
People walk like zombies, people wear a mask
What do they do, well I don’t wanna ask
Don’t you shake my hand, don’t get near my lips
It ain’t Halloween, it’s apocalypse
There is danger on every street
Every person that you meet
May possess a trick or treat
Don’t care who you are
Don’t care about your story
Stay away from me
I am frightened, the world has gone to hell
Who has got the bug, well it’s hard to tell
In every house and home, in every kind of weather
Yeah, this whole wide world we’re all in together
All across the countryside
There ain’t no place to hide
It’s a massive genocide
