Even the Crows Flew Away
Long ago
On this Halloween night
In the village churchyard
The scariest of sights
Gravestones moved
As they shook with the earth
A fissure opens
The church in girth
A reddening glow
Escapes from the depths
For before my eyes
They slowly crept
Ogres of old
From a long lost time
Disfigured, contorted
As they crawl through the grime
As i look from a distance
They wander in roam
Are they from our past
And now they've come home
The churchyard animals
Scatter and flee
What do i see happening
Right before me
Stories I've heard
My grandparents tell
When the earth was in turmoil
And all was not well
Evil ruled
In the days of the old
Is this happening again
And it's starting to unfold
What has made them
Come back this day
On this Halloween night
Even the crows flew away
