[Intro]
Shadows slither in the sickle moon's glare,
Pumpkin guts spill secrets no sane soul would dare.
Cackles carve the crisp air, knives in the fog,
Welcome to the witching waltz, where the damned dogs log.
[Verse 1]
Crypt doors creak like brittle bones in a brawl,
Zombies lurch from loam, jaws unhinged, enthralled.
Flesh flakes off in confetti of rot and regret,
Eyes like oil slicks, hunger's debt unpaid yet.
Wraiths weave through willows, whispers whip like wire,
Phantoms finger your fears, set 'em afire.
Ghouls gnaw on graves, grinding gravel and grudge,
Blood bubbles in barrels, brimstone sludge.
Demons dance in the drizzle, daggers drawn deep,
Satan's spawn spit venom, vows they keep.
No candy corn comfort, just carnage cascade,
Halloween's harrow, where heroes unmade.
[Chorus]
Ravens rasp riddles in the raven-black rift,
Bats birth from bellies, banshee shrieks lift.
Skeletons skitter, scythes slice the silken shroud,
Pumpkin prince pummels, pride turned to proud.
Echoes of evisceration, entrails entwine,
Fiends feast on folly, flesh divine.
Trapped in the terror, twilight's tight noose,
Halloween hex, you can't cut loose.
[Verse 2 - switch to internal rhymes, ABAB, accelerating tempo]
Poltergeists pummel porcelain, plates pulverize,
Spirits splinter sanity, surprise in their guise.
Vampiric veins vamp on the velvet void's vein,
Fangs forge from frostbite, forever's chain.
Werewolves whet whiskers on willow-wisp whim,
Moon-mad marauders, marrow skim.
Hags hurl hexes from hovel's hot hearth,
Curses curdle cauldrons, cull the hearth.
Imps ignite innards, infernos inside,
Lucifer's larvae, no place to hide.
Gargoyles glower from gutter spouts grim,
Stone souls stir, slaughter's hymn.
[Interlude]
[beat drops to sparse drips, wind howls sample]
...feel the frostbite fingers... tracing your throat...
...graves groan open... ghosts grab your coat...
...pumpkin eyes ignite... in the ink-black moat...
...run... but the reaper's route... is remote...
[Verse 3]
Nefarious nightshade nibbles nerves numb,
Succubi suckle sins, sweet as plum.
Necromancers knead the necrotic nest,
Risen revenants ravage the rest.
Banshees bellow ballads of butchery bold,
Wails weld wounds, winter's cold hold.
Chimeras chomp children in chimney flue,
Hybrids of horror, hell's debut.
Ogres ogle orphans, orifices ooze,
Troll tongues tangle, taboos they choose.
Frankenstein's frenzy, filaments fray,
Bolts of blasphemy, betray the day.
[Verse 4]
Eldritch entities emerge from ether's edge,
Tentacles tease the threshold, terror's pledge.
Lich lords levitate, lanterns low and lewd,
Lichens lick the living, latitude rude.
Harpy hordes harrow the harvest moon's hue,
Talons tally the toll, taboo brew.
Doppelgangers devour doubles in dusk,
Mirrors multiply madness, musk of musk.
Yokai yowl in the yew tree's yoke,
Spirits splice souls, smoke-choked.
Abominations abort the aurora's arc,
Frankincense fumes, fiends embark.
[Bridge]
One tick of the clock, coffins crack wide,
Two breaths 'til the blade bites your bride.
Three shadows swarm, swallow your stride,
Four fangs find flesh, no place to hide.
Five fingers of fog, flay your pride,
Six screams silenced, serpents inside.
Seven seals shatter, savagery's tide...
[explosive beat back in]
[Verse 5]
Apocalyptic apparitions assault the abyss's apron,
Behemoths belch brimstone, baptize in basin.
Catacombs convulse, cadavers cavort in cadence,
Dread druids dredge the deep, daemons in decadence.
Ebon eclipses eclipse the empyrean expanse,
Feral furies flense the firmament, fangs in advance.
Gorgons gaze, granite gaze turns gallants to gristle,
Hydras hiss hymns of havoc, histrionic missile.
Incubi infest the iris, iridescent ire,
Jujus jolt the jugular, justice's pyre.
Kraken coils in the kettle black, krumping the keel,
Leviathans lash the lattice, lunacy's wheel.
Marauders of midnight, maul the mundane melee,
Nyx's nymphs nip the nexus, never to fray.
