Come Little Shadows: A Hallows Eve Requiem

[Verse 1] This is the night, this is the night, where the living meet the dead! Pumpkins grin in the fading light, painting the streets a bloody red. The ancient bell begins to chime, signaling the change of time. [Verse 2] Come little shadows, the moon has arrived, to the town where the fear is alive. Through twisted trees the fog descends, a nightmare that never ends. Our little secrets whisper low, guiding you where you must go. [Pre-Chorus] Follow me, and you will see, come little children to Old Hallows Eve! [Chorus] Into the dark, follow the sound! Our spooky new world is found! Tonight we reign, tonight we call! Hear the music, standing tall! [Verse 3] Look to the sky, where the shadows loom, stretching their fingers across the full moon. They dance and twist, a silent, dark wave, the spirits of those the grave could not save. They block out the stars with a freezing embrace, wiping the smile off every human face. [Verse 4] Down in the blackness, beneath your own bed, things with sharp teeth wait to be fed. Their glowing eyes watch every small sound, waiting to scratch at your bedroom door. Only the light of the Lord can defend, so pray that the terror will finally end. [Verse 5] The vampires emerge in a crimson red flash, sharp fangs are ready for one final clash. They sweep through the streets in their heavy black cloaks, enjoying the screams and the wicked, dark jokes. They crave the excitement and chaos and fear, knowing their moment is finally here. [Bridge] Run, run, don't you look back, the moon is full on this dreadful track. The magic is heavy, the air is too cold, a story much scarier than any we're told. [Chorus] Into the dark, follow the sound! Our spooky new world is found! Tonight we reign, tonight we call! Hear the music, standing tall! [Outro] Scream, scream! The shadows have won the night! ©2025 By Matthew E Treviño
