[m/l van

I: Arrivals]

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

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

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

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

[Part II:

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

Long after midnight, children
Journeys them, chances to take
Run through the streets to the carnival
Hoping to the merry-go-round

AM is midnight for the soul
Never is a man so close to
The house of is at hand
are damned

What's the purpose of a life of
What you know certainly can hurt you
step he made he second-guessed
Life of

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

[Part The Carnival]

that night the boys returned
Watched the carousel 'round
Turning old man into
Bringing to town

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

Jim and Will in
To whirling world of sin
Forward spins the
Cooger ages, and goes to hell

Mister Dark knows at
That the boys seen too much
As they call for the
He and the witch
For plan to be unleashed

Boys with the law
Try to tell them what saw
The witch her voice and the old, dead man
to come to life again

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

[Part IV:

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

The boys have seen too
And now their death will be their
The freaks have 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 Autumn

Late night inside the town's old library
by arcane and evil books
Scouring them for any of knowledge.
Charles, Jim and

A father's son who know his dad
Suddenly he that he had
As he sees this old lonely man
Could be they the only they have

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

Promise you just what you want and
When they're they'll steal your very soul
Entomb you in their

And as the bell rings
hear the opening door
The boys for their lives
As Mister Dark

Man to old to his son

He the offer down
Not willing to his soul
For he wants the most

And the witch to give the man
A taste of precious

(Halloway) ten closer to death
(Somehow) the courage to laugh
(Laughter) searing in the face
(Laughter) burning her wicked

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

[Part Departures]

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

Halloway: and son

As Dark gives them the bullet and
Charles into a crescent moon

Mister stares at the bullet

So he the game proceed

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

And with determination
Lets his heart fill love

And the boy's hate with this love and it

The three of spring

Two boys and one man
No quite so old as he thought

Far away but too close for comfort
