On the last day of October in the chilling autumn air when the sun was hidden well beyond the tree And in the moon dark shadow the unbidden come alive to ride upon death's burning silver steed But while children beg for candy and parents beg for peace Too tired to hear the knock upon the door The screaming of the silent ones is nothing but the breeze Like ashes falling on a marble floor The candy is inspected for razors killing edge or poison that the eye will never see But will take the lives of children whose day will never come and join the souls on this all hallows eve Your feet have felt the soft earth in the years before I came and the sun has warmed your face and lit your hair The sea has called your name in soft and gentle waves The traces of your life are all still there And I hear your presence whisper in the air Oh, protect us for the evil that lives inside mans soul As you ride out on that ancient sacred night You who are remembered, remember love as well Burn your fires for us and keep us in your light Your feet have felt the soft earth in the years before I came And the sun has warmed your face and lit your hair The sea has called your name in soft and gentle waves The traces of your life are all still there And I hear your presence whisper in the air
