Crimson red liquid oozing,
sustainance of life draining away.
Eyelids closed in hypnotic acceptance
of this role to play.

White the piercing fangs that bite...
the kiss of death for eternity's bond.
Lost the innocense of youth
and dreams for you to wish up upon.

Dark the soul that's lost in time.
Erased emotion...forever gone.
Trapped in un-ending gloom,
no recourse but to tag along.

The spell is cast...there's no reversal.
Changed for all time to the living dead.
Walking in darkness and hiding from light
as nothingness is all that's ahead.

The wind it howls fierce and loud
as naked branches bow to ground

Through the clouds the moon does wind
the eerie air plays tricks on mind

Shuffling feet make crackling sounds
through dried up leaves heaped in mounds

whistling sounds and limbs that creak
travelers of night afraid to speak

slowly walking wrapped in fear
concealing trembling legs from peers

All for the taste of something sweet
to fill their bags in trick or treat.

Do not be deceived by the smiles that she wears;
the surface shows little of what's really there.
She wears her mask well, to play out her disguise...
unaware that the truth is revealed in her eyes.
Once you have peered through her window to soul,
you'll realize how well she plays out her role.
With her heart, she may capture an unseeing guest
then forever compelled to follow her quest.
As her will smoothers his with relentless endeaver,
she'll laugh with her prize and think she is clever.
She's a witch and a devil rolled up into one,
living with greed for amusement and fun.
Torturing hearts and destroying their souls;
killing the spirit of those whom she holds.

Through the blackest night,
I walk heartlessly.
Trust me not.
Eons of evil,
Penetrate my soul.
Hate me not.
Open yourself to me,
Feel my burning hunger.
Need me not.
Surrender your soul to me,
With but one eternal kiss.
Leave me not.
Trade your life,
For my cold existence.
Love me not.

Hello there, my little friend
I am the pumpkin of Halloween
you picked me out the other day
I was the best you'd ever seen.

With a carving knife in hand
your imagination raced
you cut out the coolest designs
and gave me a delightful face.

I refuse to scare or haunt you
or try to fill you with such fright
if you light the candle inside me
I'll guide you home tonight.

Good Luck to you, my little friend
I hope you find a wealth of treats
and please don't be at all afraid
because it's only make believe.

He stands under the stars at night
Face dimly lit by the pale moonlight
Gives a nod of his head
Pulls the trigger and is dead

Her parents are fighting yet again tonight
She looks at the moon and the stars so bright
Thinks of her life and lets out a sigh
Fulfills her only wish to die

Failed again nothing seems right
Making a decision under the moon tonight
On the ocunt of three
They jump there way to two more casualties

I suppose we could blame the moon
For not allowing these lives to bloom
Point fingers and place the blame
Chalk up four more for the game

Feeling dead inside pleading for not tomorrow
Drowning in an instant of misery and sorrow
What is it about the moon tonight
That magnifies it all under this light?

Night of ghouls monstors and demons
Chants of witches summons
Four more fall victim to the silent screams
On this night of Halloween

When the sun goes down, the cats come out to play
They have been waiting all day, for their prey.

But one cat knew, which creature could not fly
And sat there waiting patiently, for it to die.

This poor little bird, with it's broken wing
Tried to please the fat cat, so she began to sing.

The big cat, started batting the bird 'round and 'round
He suddenly stopped to listen, to the bird's sweet sound.

As the cat began to purr and fall to sleep
Poor little bird, took one step back and started to weep.

 When the cat awoke, the bird was gone
 But high above the clouds, he could hear the bird's sweet song.

Streaking out across your path
You are doomed to suffer its wrath
An omen of luck cloaked in black
In all your luck shall goodness lack
Said to be a familiar of the witch
In waiting, does its tail twitch
Eyes gleaming in the dark
The fear it strikes can be stark
Is it just a roll of the dice
Or do chosen victims pay the price?
When you leave the comfort of the light
To venture out on this hallow night
Be watchful and beware
A black cat can hide anywhere!

This must be the last thing you expected of me
Seeing how you built me from hope and loyalty
But how can the hands of a killer not go bad
When you hooked them up to a brain gone mad
My one eye of green and the other of deep blue
Can still see what it was that you wanted me to do
And what effort you put in to find me legs this strong
That you dug deeper than you needed tells me I'm not wrong
Proudly you constructed a slave of your own design
Strong of arm and back while weak of will and mind
But calling down from the heaven an electrical charge
You had no idea what would happen with a bolt so large
For not only did it set the spark of life and make me whole
It fused together all the pieces and forged out a soul
I am new to the world and life this is but my first week
But already it is a path other than yours that I now seek
You thought me a monster and because of that I cant stay
Good bye doctor Frankenstein forgive me for running away

The world seems a flame as they chase after me
Smoke rises up to block my vision so I cant see
Igor calls to me from somewhere up ahead
To hurry unless I want them to make me dead
His laughter is enough to make me wish him so
For it was all his fault that into that town I did go
Wearing the face of a man that a year ago they hung
It is a wonder that on a rope I wasn't already strung
If only I can make it back to the doctors castle
Once there these towns people will be no hassle
For all fear my lord and maker Dr. Frankenstein
Who else could bring me back to life one more time
But from ashes he told me no life is there to bring
So I run from the flames even as they try to form a ring
Foolish this mad dash across the county side like some dandy
He was already at the store and should have gotten Halloween candy

The fading light turns the room a shade of gray
As the medium chats the words I dare not say
Come forth the spirit of doctor Frankenstein
I put my mark on thee and now you are mine
So from the depths of the after life to you I call
To show yourself, here and now before us all
Lightning breaks the night as the pale spirit appears
Seeming to be held in place by tattered nerve and fears
Creator of the creature made form dead flesh and bone
Answer my questions and I will let you return to grave and home
It is your secret of reanimating life that I wish to know
Tell all there is to tell and then I will let your tortured soul go
"What is this creature that you speak of to a cook like me"
"I who created the frankfurter and cast the first stein you see"
"In my time many a mile would travelers come to dine you hear"
"For I was the only one who served a Frank-N-Stein of beer"
