On Allhallows Eve, The demons took their stand. They rose up from Limbo To reek their havoc on man. O Pan himself took charge And played his magickal recorder. He conjured a mystical spell untold That broke down the astral border. Through that rip in the cosmos Pan marched his evil legends. Their mission, to regain the Earth For all their hellish reasons. Across this realm man ran in fear Of the monstrous creatures that broke through. Many broke down and gave up all hope Then screamed, “there is nothing we can do.” One man rose with a deceptive plan That the masses thought was quite queer. He said, “We’ll dress up as ghouls and ghosts And within the demons we’ll strike fear.” No other plan was offered up, So they dressed as all that goes bump in the night. Much to the amazement of those brave men, In the demons eyes they saw fright. O Pan sounded a ghastly retreat For fear of their possible fate. Back to their world they quickly ran. Then we closed their cosmic gate. Now, we call that day Halloween And that game our children love to play. They dress up as whatever they want to be To scare them monsters away. This year go out, have fun and celebrate But to the side don’t let your fears be laid. Even though we chased off those demons There is still much reason to be afraid. So when you go trick-or-treating Hold your children tightly by hand. Inspect all their candy closely For the real monster to fear…is Man! Love is the law, Love under will. |
