Halloween's leader pulls us into a chilling struggle. |
** Image ID #2012051 Unavailable ** 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 – O – 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.
