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
