Finish the lyrics of the Michael Jackson hit, Thriller: It's close to midnight
And something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to ___________
freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

What words start the SECOND verse of the star-spangled banner?
A. On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
B. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
C.O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
A. On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
’Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
