[Verse 1] Lanterns swing low on the edge of the rain, Ghostlight hums in the marrow of lanes— Where laughter once lived, only whispers remain, “Trick or treat,” say the souls, soft and vain. [Pre-Chorus] In the hush of the wind, I hear echoes of song, Every shadow remembers where hearts once belong. [Chorus] O come, my wanderers, bearing flame and dream— Through the veil between the worlds we gleam. Candy hearts and crimson skies, Under candle moons we rise. For tonight, the lost are seen— Trick or treat in realms between. [Verse 2] Silken masks and laughter in tears, We’ve danced through the graves of forgotten years. Love is the sweet we cannot save, A fire that glows beneath the grave. [Bridge: Spoken-word] Hear the hollow of the drum— Shadows gather, saints grow numb. Ghosts of poets, witches, kings, Trade their souls for sweeter things. Lantern high, my spirit sings— Blood and honey, midnight rings. [Outro] So take your treat and leave your fear, The veil will fade, but love stays near. Through every dusk, my song repeats— Forever whispering: trick or treat.
