Dark is the night that draws them near
When ghosts and goblins venture out
Their howls and calls float all about.
Their leader sends a chill of fear
That races through the fields around
It wakens up the frozen ground
Pulls back the world beyond the mirror
So that we see in brutal light
All that gathers around to fight.
Take in his face, its chiseled leer
Jack β O β Lantern is not so nice
His nasty cadence has a price
Viperous smile, death calls you here
It traps you deep and sucks you dry
Struggle against it, or you die.
