[Verse 1] You drew a little circle with the kitchen salt Said, “Don’t step through unless you mean it all” Red leaves blew hard against the old back door I entered the circle, then counted four [Pre-Chorus] Blood moon caught in the bare black trees You sang my name as the candles gleamed [Chorus] Oktober, take me under Spin my shadow, split the thunder Bitter apple, blackthorn crown We call the old ones drifting down Oktober, make it wicked One small vow and now we’re in it By the blood and by the flame I leave this night with a different name [Verse 2] Shadows danced upon the stones and grass Night gave way, let the cold wind pass I shivered inside, it was time to begin Oktober was calling, so we let it in [Pre-Chorus] No saint, no savior, no borrowed prayer Just our two shadows in the chilling air If the old gods listen, let them hear us say: We are not afraid of what we’ll become today [Chorus] Oktober, take me under Spin my shadow, split the thunder Bitter apple, blackthorn crown We call the old ones drifting down Oktober, make it wicked One small vow and now we’re in it By the blood and by the flame I leave this night with a different name [Bridge] No good girl, no lost lamb I choose the dark; I know who I am Moon in my eyes, black bind tied tight I’ll keep the bargain till morning light [Final Chorus] Oktober, take me under Spin my shadow, split the thunder Bitter apple, blackthorn crown We call the old ones drifting down Oktober, make it wicked One small vow and now we’re in it By the blood and by the flame I leave this night with a different name [Outro] Different name... Different name... Oktober, take me under © 2026 Groovy Monster. All rights reserved.
