All Hallows Eve

Waning light, the days grow shorter
 And night casts its shadows like the fingers of a starving ghoul
 What a sight! The feasting mortals
 Cheering for the dead but unaware of her dreadful rule
 Amidst the commotion
 The sleepers return
 A horrible motion, as the fen fires burn
 Dead and damned, and all in between
 Roaming and shambling, they're mostly unseen
 On this world, led by their sepulchral queen
 Clad in tragical white
 Dressed in unlight
 And known as All Hallows'
 Eve! Back alive! For this night!
 Increasing their numbers
 Amidst the commotion
 Her reavers, they yearn
 Mingling among the mortals they're impossible to discern
 Stealing souls, hemorrhaging lives
 In shadows, dark corners, in the dead of the night
 Howls of fornication drown out mortal cries
 Clad in tragical white
 Driving the blight
 And known as All Hallows'
 Eve! Back alive! For this night!
 Increasing their numbers
 Once she was promised, dreaming of her wedding day
 Engulfed in all the feelings for her loved fiance
 He claimed he had a present, a secret surprise
 She followed him laughing and with curious eyes
 In the night before All Hallows, out in the fields of rye
 With stone in hand and dark intent, he kissed her goodbye
 Deflowered by the coward and then left to die...
 Dead human shells, their spirits withdrawn
 The reaping done before the crack of dawn
 A bountiful harvest for her hellish spawn
 Another night of Samhain fading
 'Tis her gift that she silently leaves
 After revelry, there will be, terrible grief
 Once more, on All Hallows' Eve!
