Next Halloween
"Next Halloween"
Walking with strangers as parents look on
Speaking of the greatness the last house dropped in their bag
Giddy with sugar and the excitement of the night to come
Such innocence noticed by the horror behind the scenes
Trick or treat you may hear from house to house
Please and thank you from the chocolate mouths
As they walk in closeness with those they walk with
Unaware of the dangers happening in the distance
Yes honey. They're having a good time. Of course I took the good ones
As she hangs up the phone she feels a coldness throughout her frame
She shivers only to feel the pain of sharpness that opens her from the insides
Her stomach ripped open like Snickers candy, she slumps forward upon the horn
Blaring as it echoes through the tress above the children
Hiding the blood upon his hands as he silently travels behind the scene
As most turn towards the car where the lady lay in blood
No Face jams his knife upon a man that splits his skull like wood
No Face was just a mythical killer who's name was joked about
It's been years since his last debut, so now he must prove his truth
With maggots slithering in and out of the sockets where eyes belong
The rotten smell of death can be smelled upon the victims
Doors are being locked, guns are being loaded, screaming children found fleeing
The shocked stand in horror as the ground turns into a river of blood
Trying to turn in the direction of the screams their feet slip as down they fall
Before they even turn their eyes towards the stars, the pain of his blade slice them into pieces of bones and flesh
Halloween night is his night of horror that shall never be joked about
Through the victory of the gruesome display he's caused this town
He smiles in the anticipation of the growing intestinal food he'll feast on until his next return
Arms out wide he roars into the night sky as he steps into the shadows until next Halloween
