Sandman's Evil On Halloween

A pumpkin at Halloween shows respect Known protection from the evil suspect One that travels in the deep of the night Pumpkin’s light keeps this soul away tonight The Sandman comes many days of the year But never with the vengeance one would fear That Halloween brings for the evil craft Where sleep carries dreams and nightmare’s dark shaft In your room, if you don’t have pumpkin cries The Sandman leaves his mark into your eyes Leaving evil nightmares inside your head Crawling with hatred wishing you were dead That’s why I always hold my lit pumpkin Protect me from evil that does begin On this cursed night, terror of Halloween The greatest night that has ever been seen
