[m/l van

I: Arrivals]

October's a rare for boys
When is simple, pure and sweet
And the foolish youth can
The wolf outside the

Come hear a of Halloween
And one not long past
Jim and Will Halloway
Would be quite so young anymore

Fury, the seller of rods, foretells the coming storm
The light's on in the library, beneath the sky
Charles Halloway sits deep inside, by his books
A serious, lonely and sad old man whose has passed him by

And Jim and Will
To ride the
Could set their souls
send them straight to Hell

[Part II:

Far away, but too close for comfort
Carnival's calliope is
Halloway sits in the library
dark thoughts
Son at he doesn't really know
years seems so very old
Throws the ad in the fire
grow higher

Long midnight, children awake
Journeys await them, to take
Run the streets to the carnival grounds
to ride the merry-go-round

Three AM is for the soul
Never is a man so to death
The house of temptation is at
are damned

What's the purpose of a life of
What you don't know can hurt you
Every step he made he
of regret

Ride's out of order, no around
Hardly a whisper, hardly a
Thinking that they're alone, but not
Gloved hands encircle, now they are

[Part III: The

Late that night the boys
Watched the carousel 'round
old man into young
Bringing darkness to

turns and turns
Years can scorch and can burn
accomplice, age reversed
Now a boy accursed

Jim and Will in
To this whirling of sin
spins the carousel
Cooger ages, dies and to hell

Mister knows at once
That the have seen too much
As call for the police
He and the witch
For plan to be unleashed

return with the law
Try to tell what they saw
The witch her voice and the old, dead man
Seems to come to again

The ruse has worked, no one the
Tales of the boys have seen
The witch locks they fear her most;
She wishes them a "short sad for both!"

[Part IV:

Late that night the witch takes to the sky above the
Searching for the boys who know the secret of the
A black parade of freaks, and led by Mister Dark,
Scours street for the boys to drag them down to hell

The have seen too much
And now death will be their silence
The have caskets fashioned for the little boys who hid
And Mister Dark halts the procession, the librarian,
He asks him who the boys are; fills with rage as the old man

[Part V: The People]

Late that night the town's old library
Circled by arcane and evil
them for any hint of knowledge.
Charles, Jim and

A father's son who doesn't his dad
he wishes that he had
As he that this old lonely man
Could be the only hope they have

The Carnival has been here many
Its is found between the lines
Comes by forty years or so
Since more two hundred years ago

They feast upon the and fears of men
Promise you just you want and then
When they're through they'll your very soul
Entomb you in their

And as the church bell
They hear the door
The boys for their lives
As Dark arrives

[Part VI:

Tearing at his
To take a second
To the wrongs
To again

No

No living as a
Man to old to his son

He turns the offer
Not willing to his soul
For what he wants the

Dark
Crushes hand
And tells the witch to the man
A taste of precious

(old man) Hear breathing
(old man) Feel your
(old man) See you're
(old man) Stop your

[Part Confrontations]

(Halloway) ten closer to death
(Somehow) finding the to laugh
(Laughter) searing in the witch's
(Laughter) her wicked soul
(Standing), he's beaten her back
(Smiling), knowing the is now
(Striding) into the street
(Knowing) that he can them somehow
(Mister Dark) leads the boys into the
(Will to be) made into a toy for
(Nightshade) to be his for life
(After the) carnival's over
(Carnival): one last to see
(Shoot the witch): gypsy who die
(Mister Dark) gazes out over the for a
(Volunteer): to give it a try

(Halloway) calls out from in the crowd
(Mister Dark) cannot his eyes
(Halloway) his hand picks up the gun
(To it) he calls for the help of his son

VIII: Departures]

Far away, in the mirror maze
The whole calls his name
And awakes the spell
The dust witch placed upon his

father and son
as one
As Mister Dark them the bullet and
Charles carves into a crescent

Mister Dark at the bullet
He yet under stand
The meaning of Charles has done
So he the game proceed

But the moon he carved isn't a at all
It's his smile the bullet
And this totem it's way
To the heart

The gun and the
Witch knows and now is dead!

Chaos spreads, and Charles and
Run to the to rescue Jim
walks in
Confronted by reflections of a million men
Staring back and making him
A lifetime of regrets
A man who knew his son
A man deeds were never done

rises from
The hall of mirrors
He picks up his son and with him
the carnival grounds

Nightshade upon the carousel
Charles and Will him down
Another boy saying
Mister Dark's
And the four of us must chase

Halloway looks at the strange boy
He sees him for he is
Mister Dark younger again by the
of the carousel

Charles the boy up
Holds him close and feels his
And with determination
his heart fill with love
for his and his son
And returns the hate with this love and it
courses
Dark's young
And he and dies

As the carnival tents
The of them spring
laughing to town
Two boys and one man
No longer so old as he thought

Far away but much too close for
Far but much too close for comfort
