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
