Monster Masquerade
They said the party was to be the biggest of the year
Planned up in the mountains, it would cause more fright and fear
Everyone in town had been invited to attend
To meet their brand new neighbors, have a chance for all to blend
The ghoulish bash got started as the sun was going down
The guests began arriving in their costumes, masks and gowns
The twinkling stars above surrounded an enormous giant moon
A lovely backdrop for the merriment and happy tunes
But when the midnight hour came the hosts began to change
Transforming into monsters, hideous, deranged
The massacre which followed lasted till the morning light
The few that got away escaped into the darkened night
For years the town was empty but then slowly people came
In spite of whispered horrors, none believed the gruesome claim
And when the town was whole again they all got an invite
To join a monster masquerade, up in a mountain site
