ALL HALLOWS' EVE
The night is dark and brings with it fear
The dead walk the earth this one night every year
Dark secrets, ages old, come back to haunt the living
Long lost troubled souls return to ask forgiving
Demons search for souls to steal for some ungodly reason
All Hallows' Eve, a creepy night, but such a funny season
When store's get ready for Christmas time
And normal people dress out of line
The children dress up to beg in the streets
For Halloween candy and other treats
They walk the night to collect so much
But when they get home, they dare not touch
Alas... their haul is not safe to consume
Until it is x-rayed, and checked for poison
It seems that the souls of the dead we fear
Are walking among us more often each year
So beware, my friend, of All Hallows' Eve
Because your next door neighbors are not safe to believe
Watch out for your children and keep them close
Protect them from the evil in rotted souls
For the night is dark and brings with it fear
When the living walk the earth
with dead hearts
this one night every year

And

I want to scream, but can't even speak.
"Hey Mom, Hey Dad," if they only knew,
CEMETERY SCENE:
‘Twas late in the evening
One Halloween
When I happened
upon this scene
Being lowered into a grave
All Hallows Eve
Late one Hallows Eve, just before midnight
Out there in the field, I saw a faint light
I watch figures move,
