Lyrics

Wisdom of witches,
Musings of cats,
Hanging out with
Guileless bats —
Benevolent, similar companions
Alight from the stars tonight.

Sippings of cider,
Fall leaves bestrewn,
Sharing sweets
Under the moon —
We ponder illuminating pumpkins
Carved slowly from outside in.

RIP the veil between
Worlds upon Hallowe’en.
Ghost friends
Love and will be seen.
All souls knock at the door;
Give out your candy, but
Think back on old lore —
Who will you let inside?
Mind your core.

Night covers the words
And the poison in shadowy smiles.
Discern the eyes,
Whether they be loving
Or be hostile —
To glimpse at imps,
To peer at peers.

Toads wait at the porch,
Wanting more treats
In croaking contempt.
Cast out the spell of them
As with a diadem —
Ward away,
Welcome in.

Whispering spirits,
Questioning owls,
Stepping out with
That which prowls —
Good hauntings will come of inspiration
And fellowship magical.

RIP the veil between
Worlds upon Hallowe’en.
Ghost friends
Love and will be seen.
All souls knock at the door;
Give out your candy, but
Think back on old lore —
Who will you let inside?
Mind your core
On Hallowe’en.
