[m/l van

[Part I:

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

hear a tale of Halloween
And one not long past
Jim and Will Halloway
Would never be quite so young

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

And Jim and conspire
To the carousel
Could set their souls
Could send them straight to

[Part II:

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

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

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

What's the of a life of virtue?
you don't know certainly can hurt you
Every step he he second-guessed
of regret

Ride's out of order, no around
a whisper, hardly a sound
Thinking that 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 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 whirling world of sin
Forward the carousel
Cooger ages, and goes to hell

Dark knows at once
That the boys seen too much
As they call for the
He and the wait
For their to be unleashed

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

The has worked, no one believes the
Tales of what the boys seen
The witch locks eyes; fear her most;
She them a "short sad life for both!"

IV: Pursuits]

Late night the witch takes to the sky above the town
Searching for the boys who know the of the carousel
A black parade of circus freaks, and led by Dark,
Scours every for the boys to drag them down to hell

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

[Part V: The People]

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

A son who doesn't know his dad
Suddenly he that he had
As he sees that this old man
Could be they the only hope they

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

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

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

VI: Temptations]

Tearing at his
To a second chance
To the wrongs
To live

No

No more as a
Man to old to his son

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

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

(old man) your breathing
(old man) Feel hurt
(old man) See bleeding
(old man) your heart

VII: Confrontations]

(Halloway) ten lifetimes to death
(Somehow) finding the to laugh
(Laughter) in the witch's face
(Laughter) burning her wicked
(Standing), knowing he's her back
(Smiling), the time is now
(Striding) purposefully the street
(Knowing) he can save them somehow
(Mister Dark) leads the boys into the
(Will to be) into a toy for freaks
(Nightshade) to be his for life
(After the) carnival's over
(Carnival): one last to see
(Shoot the witch): who cannot die
(Mister Dark) gazes out the crowd for a
(Volunteer): to give it a try

(Halloway) calls out from deep in the
(Mister Dark) cannot believe his
(Halloway) his good hand up the gun
(To it) he calls for the help of his son

[Part Departures]

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

Halloway: and son
as one
As Mister Dark them the bullet and
Charles carves into a moon

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

But the moon he carved isn't a at all
It's his smile the carries
And totem finds it's way
To the witch's

The gun and the
Witch knows and now is dead!

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

Halloway rises
The of shattered mirrors
He up his son and runs with him
Across the carnival

Nightshade upon the carousel
Charles and Will help him
boy appears saying
Mister gone
And the four of us must give

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

Charles the boy up
him close and feels his hatred
And grave determination
Lets his fill with love
for his and his son
And returns the boy's with this love and it
courses
young body
And he and dies

As the carnival disappears
The three of them
laughing back to
Two and one middle-aged man
No longer so old as he thought

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