Three Haunted Houses
Everyone’s heard about the three houses
That reside at the end of the dark street
Seems just candles are ever lit inside
And shadows wander all about this beat
There is always some sort of ghoulish sounds
Coming from the confines of this building
Ghosts are said to come rampaging the street
During all hours of the night, house stalking
It is said the residents of these homes
All committed vile suicide one night
Halloween night, done in a ritual
So they may live always and scare with fright
Ghosts of their long past, they may kill at will
Thus all the residents of the street fear
The group of evil beings that just prowl
On Halloween nights, their souls do appear
The neighbors all leave on Halloween night
For they know the ghosts will kill them all there
In their sleep or even awake they’ll strike
All the lights are out this night of terror
But they can be heard at any distance
Their voices of anger and pain exist
Only by the next morning is it safe
Evil has subsided leaving a mist
