Of all the eerie nights I’ve seen
There’ve been none more than Halloween
All things orange, all things black
Ghouls and horror and lanterns, Jack
A time for clouds all thick and grey
A chance for night to have its day
The kings of darkness do arise
Their queens so aptly in disguise
Witches preparing for the night
With well-pressed hats and cauldrons bright
“Tonight’s the night,” I’ve heard it said
But this one’s mainly for the dead
All hail All Hallows Eve
