Hide In the Light

Fore All Hallows Eve.
Hallow the turnips.
Fore the start of dark.
Start the fires.

Souls, come from under.
To walk on the ground.
Souls, come to torment.
Thru dark aft sundown.

During the night.
Keep fires bright.
Hide in the light.

Souls, come with hunger.
They'll, eat the rats. 
And your cats...
They'll, eat the hogs. 
And your dogs.

During the night.
Keep fires bright.
Hide in the light.

Souls, bring the fright.
The fright remembers.
To collect the embers.
Fill the turnips.
For the sparks.
 
Wait in the light. 
During the night.
With the sun.
Walk will be done.
