as the full moon is shrouded in an eerie mist
there lurks creatures,that some think don’t exist
witches and warlocks, zombies with eyes long dead
this is Halloween, a night to dread
ravens perch on the cemetery gates
waiting for their turn to mutate
to change into mystical, bloodthirsty ghouls
into creatures, who at the scent of blood will drool
these Devilish beings, with foul rotting flesh
with a lust, and a craving for human flesh
a creature with rancid, sickening breath
who feast, and rejoice at the sight of death
so as the Heavens open, with a thunderous scream
the ghouls come to life, this is no dream
they rise from their graves, in all forms of decay
and you can smell their aroma, smell the clay
the witching hour, is now in full flight
as evil forces control the night
the grim reaper, with his sharpened scythe
on the prowl, to take some lives
birds and wildlife hide in fear
as the grim reaper appears
ravens flying high above, circle and wait
the dead carcas’s he leaves, their hunger they’l sate
but help will soon be on hand
as the witch finders, scour the land
searching the country wide
looking for life, that has long since died
around their neck is a crucifix
guns loaded with silver bullets, for problems to fix
mirrors to look for no reflection
and behind the eyes there’s no connection
ghouls and zombies, carrying a deathly stench
search for warm blood, their thirst to quench
but the witch finder, he waits with bated breath
his silver bullet ready, to return them to death
and as the night time terror goes on and on
soon the grey skies break, and the sun will dawn
the ravens return to the cemetery gates
and the evil beings sense, it might be to late
and the witches return to their stinking caves
and the ghouls and zombies, go back to their graves
and the sun will rise, as it surely must
and the ghouls who stayed, are turned to dust
the witch finders, lay their heads to rest
knowing, that they have done their best
to save the world from the dark side
no longer must we be terrified
but they also know that next Halloween
the vampires, ghouls and witches, will again be seen
to look for fresh flesh to devour
so be wary of the witching hour
where the workings of the dead
can fill your homes with fear and dread
and if you hear noises in the night
and bloodthirsty screams, fill you with fright
and bats can be seen silhouetted around the moon
the dark side is preparing to come back soon
and if you hear dogs bark and growl
you know that the dark side is on the prowl
so keep your children in, and lock your door
as the witch finder may not be there anymore
with the witching hour approaching fast
the ghoulish creatures will try, to make it your last
