Hallow's Eve-il

As darkness falls across the land
there's a stillness in the air
The midnight hour closes in
the Hallow's Eve is here.

Eerie houses decorated
with lanterns on the door
Skeletons, pumpkins, black cats
and evil witches galore.

Wizards, witches, ghosts and goblins
lining the darkened streets
As children go door to door
calling "Trick or treat"!

Costume parties and fancy dress
enjoyed by everyone
The haunted house, the ouija board
all seem like harmless fun.

But the candy coating of Halloween
what others do not know
Belongs to something sinister
though the attraction grows.

Beyond astrology and sorcery
the devil's greatest deceit
To cast a spell upon the world
he asks us "trick or treat?"

A sinister day with occultic roots
a pagan worship day
Honours false gods and Satan
in a celebratory way.

Harmful for what it stands for
the violence, death and fear
It emphasises the occult
on this day each year.

The night of nights for witchcraft
the occult's spirit forms
Halloween belongs to this
to which none of us were born.

Children of God, can't you see
the evil behind this day?
To celebrate is to agree
with the occultic ways.

And as God's love shines upons us,
the devil in his deceit
Brings halloween to the world
and luring, "trick or treat?"
