Welcome to October Ends

Will you survive?

Welcome to this place and time

These hallowed halls full of stories

A place that's seen many a violent crime

And left guests to feel the gories

Blood's rushed down the bitter halls

A place where little one's laughs will chill

And once your hear there aren't outgoing calls

Even when the feeling becomes one so shrill

There's no way out, you know

So why not stay a while

It won't do you any good to go

And there's no help within a mile

Enjoy a night be the fire with a weapon in hand

And sips of something to warm the heart

The front desk is really barely manned

But that was designed from the start

Breakfast is at six and on the house

And enjoy it we do hope you do

Don't confuse the sasauge, its really mouse

And that blood red drink tastes like you

Wake up those tasty little shits that followed you in

What did you think bringing them here

They're worth more than you know or I can begin

Its fall so maybe they'll see some feeding deer

Enjoy the fresh air from the west

It blows over the cemetary bringing the stench of the dead

Even at night they are full of zest

Before the spooky begins, put them kiddies to bed

Watch out for the weird and the bizarre

Blood rushing out of the pipes

Remember where you are

And save the October staff your bitches and gripes

Things burst through the wood and grab you

Holding your throat in their hands of steel

Struggle if they get you, you will certainly do

Until they disappear, and you ask if they're real

Strange sorcery befouls this torrid place of death

You can smell it in the air around

It makes you think before taking a breath

This is making you feel your heart begin to pound

But if you survive sweet October til the ends

You'll have to take the good news and the bad

There's still time for family and friends

But so few survive here that it's almost sad

Turned into the death that lay at our feet

Colors drained from within

Monsters running amuck, looking for something sweet

A line of demons rising that know to dig in

The temps fall with the howl of this place of fear

The blood moon rises over the night

It happens this way with each passing year

As if the universe wanted to give you a fright

When you leave you'll go quickly

Before you know you won't last

This place will make you old and sickly

And take you from us to dammed fast

October Ends isn't always great

But what is there to worry about

Only your sealed fate

And don't try to scream or shout

Did You Escape It?

For Fun
