All Hallows Eve

The moon hides itself in a darkening sky This is the night that the ghoulish will fly The corpse from the graveyard, the ghost to the stair From long buried memories they're suddenly there Beware of the darkness, it carries a threat Of some hideous creature you haven't yet met With long bony fingers and skeletal limbs It's going to add terror to its lifetime of sins Light all the candles and lock every door Listen intently for the telltale roar Of a soul in a frenzy on this Halloween night No use in cowering or trying to fight The goblins will find you, you can't run away Remember the creatures will be gone the next day There's nothing to do when the monsters appear But pull out the peanuts and drink a cold beer
