What's this?
I can't believe my eyes, I must be dreaming,
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair,
What's this?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong,
What's this?
The first tower is gone!
What's this?
The streets are lined with firefighters screaming,
Everybody looks so ashy
Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this?
What's this?
There's glass bits falling slowly and papers torn to shreds,
They're busy climbing stairs but we know they're already dead,
There's grey on every window, oh, I can't believe my eyes,
And in my bones I feel the warmth that's burning from inside~
Oh, look, what's this?
They've jumped from the window, they missed?
Why that looks so oblique?
Inspired!
They're gathering around to watch the second bursting building catch on fire!
What's this?
What's this?
Up there there's nothing left to see, how queer?
And who would ever think?
And why? They look so small those tiny little things,
They've lost all electricity, and there's a frown on everyone,
So, now correct me if I'm wrong,
This looks like hell, this looks like hell,
Oh, could it be They got their wish?
What's this?
Oh my, what now?
The people are missing,
But look, there's nothing underneath,
No bodies left, no one to scream and cry for help or hear them,
Only melted steal beams, trapped inside their dreamland, ah!
What's this?
(Verse 1)
In the town of Halloween, where ghouls and ghosts convene,
There came a day, so stark, so mean, that haunts our darkest dreams.
September's tears fell from the sky, a chilling sight unseen,
And in its wake, the world did quake, on this 9/11 scene.
(Chorus)
This is 9/11, the holiday of fear,
Where shadows dance with sorrow, and nightmares draw near.
In the heart of Halloween, where screams are evergreen,
We remember this day, forever it's been.
(Verse 2)
Jack Skellington roams the streets, his bones filled with despair,
For even in his hollow world, there's pain beyond compare.
The pumpkin king with empty eyes, feels a shiver in his bones,
As he gazes upon the horrors, where hope has turned to stone.
(Chorus)
This is 9/11, the holiday of fear,
Where shadows dance with sorrow, and nightmares draw near.
In the heart of Halloween, where screams are evergreen,
We remember this day, forever it's been.
(Bridge)
Gather 'round, you frightful souls, beneath the crescent moon,
Remember those we lost that day, and sing a mournful tune.
For in the land of make-believe, where nightmares come to life,
We honor those who perished, in the midst of endless strife.
(Chorus)
This is 9/11, the holiday of fear,
Where shadows dance with sorrow, and nightmares draw near.
In the heart of Halloween, where screams are evergreen,
We remember this day, forever it's been.
(Outro)
So raise your voices, one and all, in memory of the fallen,
For though the night may be dark and deep, their light will never weaken.
In the town of Halloween, where darkness reigns supreme,
We'll never forget this day, in our haunting, eternal dream.
