[Intro – playful spoken female voice] Halloween night! I was sitting with the saints, When a goddess came online. Oh, good heavens! Not tonight! [Verse 1] On Halloween in candlelight, A midnight goddess came in sight. From Marseille, at half past four, Her poetry came knocking at my door. Dressed in darkness, crowned in stars, Sending whispers from afar. She said, "Bonjour, mon amie," Then summoned half of eternity! The void, the thread, the dreaming realm, Good Lord, I was overwhelmed! [Pre-Chorus] I tried to read, I tried to breathe, A hundred metaphors up her sleeve. I came for fellowship and prayer, But suddenly my mind was elsewhere! [Chorus] On Halloween, the goddesses descend! What is a mortal girl to do? One sends poetry through the night, One sings a hymn so sweet and true. Heaven above, heaven below, Two kinds of grace in a single show. I came to church to find some peace, Instead, my heartbeat found a beat! [Verse 2] My earthly goddess sat nearby, With gentle hands and smiling eyes. She shared her faith, she spoke of grace, Then sang a hymn that filled the place. What was she saying? I couldn't tell! My thoughts were under a different spell. One voice was singing, soft and clear, One whispered, "You are cherished, dear." [Pre-Chorus] A sacred song, a midnight text, I couldn't guess what would come next. Was this a blessing or a test? My heart was racing in my chest! [Chorus] On Halloween, the goddesses descend! What is a mortal girl to do? One brings the mystery of the night, One brings the morning breaking through. Heaven above, heaven below, Two kinds of grace in a single show. I came to church to find some peace, Instead, my heartbeat found a beat! [Bridge – softer, intimate] One lives in words I long to read, One lives the kindness that I need. Neither promised me the stars, Yet both brought light from where they are. A little warmth came passing through, That is the grace lovingly given and received. [Final Chorus – luminous, joyful harmonies] On Halloween, the goddesses descend! Let the music carry through! One in shadow, one in light, Both made this Halloween feel new. Heaven above, heaven below, Let the unexpected blessings flow. No need to know how stories end, Just let the goddesses descend! Descend! Descend!
