Ravens Await
The bats fly by night
Through a dark eerie graveyard
Where ravens fly down
And move onto the gravestones
An eerie darkness exists
The moonlight comes in
Opens whole new spark tonight
Leaves the witch within
Perfect spot to make the curse
Cauldron contains all she needs
Jack-O-Lanterns guard
Protect the evil inside
The grove holds the spell
To bring the youth of the young
Straight onto the wicked witch
Then the bats return
To the old rickety tree
Which to roost after -
Their long search for devil’s blood
To keep them alive so long
The ravens watch, wait
Their turn will come soon enough
Where they will be called
To show their mark of the dead
On a strange Halloween night
