Halloween Moon
Oh great eye of darkness
Pour down milky glow
My beacon of brilliance
Begin the creep show
Come my precious orb of night
Above the shroud of inky fright
Beam my silent pumpkin moon
Guide us as we mount our brooms
Replete me with impure delight
So fellow hags may take their flight
Tonight seems eerily opportune
To scatter nightmares laced with doom
With gothic flair non can compare
Tonight
release
Invoke despair
Shivers tickle mortal spines
vampires decant crimson wine
Come haunting laughter
Insane cries
Come breath on neck
Come hollow eyes
Whispering crones in surreptitious huddles
Mutter their words as cauldron bubbles
Footsteps pacing
Hearts are racing
no idea just what they’re facing
We’ll brew potions
Cause commotions
Cut the veil and drain the oceans
For now we summon hungry ghouls
To terrorise those human fools
Hairs prick up and throats are tight
What joy to watch their dread ignite
Breath in the stench of rotting flesh
Behold they’re rising from their death
Shadows dance on stony beds
Their burning hunger must be fed
Relinquish your celestial power
Gaze down on me as I devour
None escape your watchful gaze
Now set this Halloween ablaze
