[ Intro ] [ Verse 1 ] I live just outside the village, We all share the same home. But you shun me and you insult me, I find myself so alone. We all missed the poor miller, His loud voice and louder grin. When I raised him from the dead, You screamed - said it was a sin. [ Verse 2 ] I see you losing loved ones, Ah, the cruel cold hand of death. When I offered to help restore, You cursed my every breath. You're good at pointing fingers, In the summer, you're so bold. But everything begins to change, When the wind starts to turn cold. [ Chorus ] For one night you are happy, To dance with ghosts and ghouls. All the harsh words forgiven, 'Cause you are in the mood. Suddenly, it is funny, To tempt spirits unseen. You only call the Necromancer, When it's Halloween! [ Verse 3 ] In summer it's unnatural, Now everything is fine. The oh so righteous cleric, Now wants to drink my wine. You killed my zombie servants, Whenever you had the chance. Now you're asking them to join you, In some crazy dance! [ Chorus ] For one night you are happy, To dance with ghosts and ghouls. All the harsh words forgiven, 'Cause you are in the mood. Suddenly, it is funny, To tempt spirits unseen. You only call the Necromancer, When it's Halloween! [ Bridge ] I know that when November comes, The torches light one-by-one. You'll beat a path back to my door, And not for having fun. But gods know, I need the company, So for now let us pretend. For this one night lets act as though, We are all good friends! [ Final Chorus ] For one night you are happy, To dance with ghosts and ghouls. All the harsh words forgiven, 'Cause you are in the mood. Suddenly, it is funny, To tempt spirits unseen. You only call the Necromancer, When it is Halloween! [ Outro ] See you again next year!
