When the Halloween starts darker... [LYRICS CHALLENGE]

Verse 1

October starts with a whispering breeze,

Stripping the leaves from the shivering trees.

Not with a laugh or a plastic mask,

But a chill in the air doing its silent task.

The sun drops early, the darkness grows thick,

And the shadows play a much darker trick.

Before the candy, before the light,

The season begins with a creep in the night.

Chorus

Halloween starts scarier than it ends,

Before the costumes and imaginary friends.

When the dusk rolls in and the cold bites deep,

And the monsters are real in the hours of sleep.

It’s not just a game or a trick-or-treat,

It’s the silent terror walking down the street.

Verse 2

Fog on the porch where the porch light dies,

Footsteps echo, but there's no one in sight.

The wind in the chimney hums an eerie tune,

Underneath a sharp and silver full moon.

You lock up the doors, but the quiet's too loud,

Gathered beneath a heavy gray cloud.

The dread settles first, creeping slow through the room,

Long before children dance away from the gloom.

Chorus

Halloween starts scarier than it ends,

Before the costumes and imaginary friends.

When the dusk rolls in and the cold bites deep,

And the monsters are real in the hours of sleep.

It’s not just a game or a trick-or-treat,

It’s the silent terror walking down the street.

Outro

So listen close when the first leaf falls,

And the cold air scratches at the window walls.

The horror is fresh before the morning light,

When Halloween begins in the pitch-black night.

End
