Halloween Night
Spirits that goad have an unspoken code?
yes they certainly have that... you are right.
They come hale and hearty to join in the party
for this is their own special night.
No cause for fright on a Halloween night?
I'm afraid that you've got it all wrong.
The things that are done may just feel like fun
but believe me you’re singing 'their' song.
This night above all there's a hole in the wall
and the demons can usually squeeze through.
In their dark evil way they are searching for prey
and are seeking out people like you.
Most people don't see where they wander free
for they enter by most folks back door.
In the morning you find that they've consumed your mind
then you're not like you was once before.
Though you’re happy and gay and you still have your say
you no longer are walking alone.
You'll soon find by your traits that you’re making new mates
and your old ones won't answer the phone!
By 'possession' you see they make themselves free
to spread evil and hatred once more.
The friends you once had will now think you've turned mad
as you’ll tread them all into the floor.
So on Halloween Night if you’re up for a fright
and tricking and treating’s your way,
at least take a charm to help keep you from harm
and save bringing new 'friends' home to stay!
