THAT HALLOWEEN NIGHT



Every dark and eerie Halloween night,
A mass murder haunts all the graveyard sights.

He drags the dead from their Tombstone graves.
Not a soul did he save.

While breaking every skeleton bone,
Into many pieces, he shattered every headstone.

Their skulls he collects to sell.
What’s left of the dismantled bones, he sends to the pit of hell

Their oozing red blood emerges from the ground.
Leaving the lost souls with a shrieking sound.

He finds himself sinking beneath the bloody pool.
As the nights air turns horribly cool.

Down to the lake of fire and gone forever.
Every bone in his body eventually severs.

Disappearing from this haunting sight.
Only to return to the next Halloween night
