On All Hallows’ Eve Ghost and ghouls come at night Dancing and shaking to cause fright Amongst decaying fallen leaves In twilight believers light Waxy candles in ole Jack’s head To scare away the creeping dead Bringing forth death’s blight Each of the prayers are read A protection over their homes From the evil that roams Countryside dripping blood bright red Terrifying dead voices moans As children in frightful masks run Away from creatures before tomorrow’s sun Forces them back to their beds of loam
