Holloween

The bloody stroke of midnight Now begins the the masquerade As up they rise from hell its self To join the dark parade Upon this shore of fantasy Your will to mine inlaid I'll push away the world with you You'll be my barricade I'll hold you in the shadows As the bloody games are played Until your life before me Shall pass from thee and fade Then melting into madness From the horrors that you've seen Perhaps I will remind you That it's only Halloween That all these ghouls and goblins Are not what they may seem Except for my dark shadow Dear In that you may be leave Halloween Oct16/2013
