Steel Storm Rising

Count to four, lock the door Say my name—then say

it louder Boots on the porch like a verdict Tongue on the

match like a sermon I came for the noise and the candy

Now the walls lean in and learn me You grin in the

glass like a stranger I blink and the grin stays longer

Welcome to the haunted house

Welcome to your final night

Say it back, don’t turn around

Say it back—say it right

Happy Halloween,

trick or treat Knock,

knock, knock, feel the heat Happy Halloween,

can you see That jack-o'-lantern staring back at me?

Floorboards talk when I step in

Names in the paint start moving

I laugh, then the laughter cuts off

Like somebody

pulled the wiring

I run, but the room keeps turning

Like the whole damn house is learning

Welcome to your final day

Welcome to your final night

Final destination, say my name

Trick or treat!

(ah!) Happy Halloween, trick or treat Knock,

knock, knock, feel the heat Happy Halloween,

can you see That jack-o'-lantern staring back at me?

Happy Halloween, don’t you run

The door just locked when you thought you’d won

Happy Halloween. (hahaha)
