Bitten

Behind the wall they scurry from light
Biding their time to get a fresh bite
Hunger builds and tensions rise
The evil thirst swells in their eyes

Guard your neck with garlic rope
Silver bullets you’ll find are dope
A wooden stake to stop their heart
A hungry vamp is not that smart

I know there is evil associated with this holiday but here it is for people to dress up and eat candy.
