THIS NIGHT

Ask not for whom the banshee wails

The unearthly, unholy sound

This is the night that Goodness fails

And Death tonight King is crowned

The Reaper tonight will make his choice

And spirit someone away

He will laugh in his loudest, noiseless voice

And know that he rules the night and the day

It is tonight that Satan claims a soul

But nobody knows which one

He accepts no other toll

And once done, the deed is done

As Evil roams the countryside

Those in his shadow cower

From him, all you can do is hide

He has taken and used your power

Tonight the streets run thick with blood

Tonight the blood runs here

It becomes a roaring, silent flood

And paralyzes with helpless fear

Tonight another is committed to fire

Tonight another dies

When is it your turn to be laid out on the pyre?

When your soul to the demons flies
