Midnight's arrival stops the clock
Forked lightning picks a graveyard"s lock
The bones rise for their annual walk
Under a moon blood red
The witch with the candle's unstoppable spell
Broke all seals on the doorways and windows of hell
Peeling flesh from the angels who burned as they fell
Famished demons are suitably fed
Four cloaked horsemen crush skulls under thunderous hoofs
Bats accompany broomsticks above crumbling roofs
Mankind's costumes and lies become humbling truths
Liberating what's under the bed
Snarling hounds sever limbs with one snap of the jaws
Winged atrocities lick dripping blood from their claws
Any hope of escape is a clutch at some straws
They will suck open eyes from your head
Complacent is the human race
When night comes in and slaps it's face
No deals to make or hiding place
On this day of the dead

Well I've dug into some of your older stuff and I'm so glad I did, you brought back the terror of the night to me, in London I used to walk everywhere at night and there was always an eerie ora especially around graveyard gates and so on. Beautifully written dear Peto. ๐
