[m/l van

I: Arrivals]

October's a month for boys
When is simple, pure and sweet
And the foolish can overlook
The wolf the door

Come a tale of Halloween
And one October not long
Jim Nightshade and Halloway
Would be quite so young anymore

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

And Jim and conspire
To ride the
Could set souls afire
Could send straight to Hell

II: Torments]

Far away, but too close for comfort
Carnival's calliope is
Halloway in the darkened library
dark thoughts
Son at home he doesn't know
Fifty-four years so very old
Throws the carnival's ad in the
grow higher

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

Three AM is for the soul
is a man so close 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 he second-guessed
of regret

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

III: The Carnival]

Late that the boys returned
Watched the spin 'round
old man into young
Bringing darkness to

Carousel and turns
can scorch and time can burn
Dark's accomplice, age
Now becomes a boy

Jim and stumble in
To this world of sin
spins the carousel
Cooger ages, and goes to hell

Dark knows at once
That the boys have seen too
As call for the police
He and the wait
For their plan to be

Boys with the law
Try to them what they saw
The witch throws her and the old, dead man
Seems to come to again

The has worked, no one believes the
Tales of what the boys seen
The witch locks eyes; they fear her
She wishes a "short sad life 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 parade of circus freaks, and led by Mister Dark,
Scours every street for the boys to drag down to hell

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

V: The Autumn People]

Late that inside the town's old library
Circled by arcane and books
Scouring for any hint of knowledge.
Charles, Jim and

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

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

They feast the sins 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 bell rings
hear the opening door
The boys hide for lives
As Mister Dark

VI: Temptations]

Tearing at his
To a second chance
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 the most

Dark
Crushes hand
And tells the to give the man
A of precious death

(old man) Hear breathing
(old man) your hurt
(old man) See bleeding
(old man) Stop heart

[Part Confrontations]

(Halloway) ten lifetimes closer to
(Somehow) finding the courage to
(Laughter) searing in the witch's
(Laughter) her wicked soul
(Standing), knowing beaten her back
(Smiling), knowing the is now
(Striding) into the street
(Knowing) that he can save somehow
(Mister Dark) leads the boys the streets
(Will to be) made a toy for freaks
(Nightshade) to be his for life
(After the) carnival's tonight
(Carnival): one last to see
(Shoot the witch): who cannot die
(Mister Dark) gazes out over the for a
(Volunteer): to give it a try

(Halloway) calls out deep in the crowd
(Mister Dark) believe his eyes
(Halloway) his good picks up the gun
(To steady it) he for the help of his son

[Part VIII:

Far away, trapped in the maze
The town calls his name
And Will awakes the
The dust witch placed upon his

father and son
as one
As Mister gives them the bullet and
Charles carves a crescent moon

Mister Dark at the bullet
He doesn't yet under
The meaning of what Charles has
So he the game proceed

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

The gun and the
knows this and now is dead!

Chaos spreads, and and Will
Run to the to rescue Jim
Charles in
by reflections of a million ancient men
Staring back and him older
A lifetime of regrets
A man who never his son
A man whose deeds were done

rises from
The hall of shattered
He up his son and runs with him
the carnival grounds

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

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

Charles the boy up
Holds him close and feels his
And with grave
his heart fill with love
for his and his son
And returns the hate with this love and it
through
Dark's body
And he withers and

As the tents disappears
The of them spring
back to town
Two boys and one man
No quite so old as he thought

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