This night is so dark, so much to see,

All spirits among us, they search for you and me.

As the wind howls through the trees and hills,

The terror grows more, in our hearts it fills.

Look to the sky, search for the moon,

Watch as it grows for something comes really soon.

All things to believe on all Hollow’s Eve,

Feel this fright in you, there’s no way to leave.

The goblins and ghouls steal the souls of fools

Out on this night as the dead come out of their holes,

One night of the year on Halloween,

Your imagination will haunt you, all fear can be seen.

Ghosts all around you on a cold, stormy night,

Keep an eye open for the thing that will bite.

as lightning strikes into your sight,

Bats fly above, oh! what a night.

Alone in your mind with what’s real or fake,

It seems like a dream, are you asleep or awake?

The creatures are coming yet you don’t hear

A sound,

There’s a smell all around, does it fume from

the ground?

Now starting to rain on this Eerie Halloween night,

Death sneaks up on you, only darkness, no sign

Of light.

A cold shiver goes up your spine,

You sense in the fog that nothing is fine.

Turning around to see that it’s me,

No longer alone but lost it is we.

We need to get back to where it began,

Our thoughts and our fears, alive if we

Can.

now it’s morning, slowly you awake,

Cold, wet, and dirty, was this all a dream?
