Halloween Banquet

Blooded

Halloween Banquet

Entering the hell you thought
You would not know
From out of nowhere appears far more
Than reflected blow
Bitter cold drives the harsh reality
As, life redefined brings twisted fatality.

Within the watery grave is a drowning pool ( CHORUS )
Where fate makes fun of a nervous fool
At the bottom of the well as just deserted
Is found the darkest realm of hopes murdered
Look to leave alone the prophets of doom
As, there, beyond your world is a severed bloom

When picking what you want from anywhere
Take notice of what attracts those who do not care
From you or yours and what they stand for
Is stolen everything of a beauty beyond compare

CHORUS

Beware of what strikes when you are weak
Know how all you cherish is lost in a take
A crack of the bone makes a spine shiver
As demons rise to taste the blood red river

CHORUS

Celebrations show who benefits from a banquet
As Banquo's ghost arrives to stave off misfit
Truth of reaction decides winner from loser
As up in the air is thrown anyone's future

CHORUS
