Inviting the Undead

Signal in the sky A pumpkin, fierce, glowing Showing teeth Tells of a certain graveyard Where the dead moves again Ghosts float Chains rankles along the ground Surely causing noise The haunted house Located right next to graveyard Inviting the undead There is a lone light on within Is there really someone home? Just a ruse To get the living inside To meet their doom
