I— Buenos Nochas, Mein Froinds!
II— To Sleep, Perchance To Dream
III— Strangiato Theme
IV— A Lerxst in Wonderland
V— Monsters!
VI— The Ghost of the Aragon
VII— Danforth and Pape
VIII— The Waltz of the Shreves
IX— Never Turn Your Back on a Monster!
X— Monsters! (Reprise)
XI- Strangiato Theme (Reprise)
XII— A Farewell To Things.

I agree with SonOfThirteen. This is one of their more complex song. It's very hard to play.
