"Halloween Party"

I'll never forget her scream; the most delicious noise to my ears
The events still seem clear; the ones from Halloween last year

It was the thirty first of October; I was at a feast
Sort of like a masquerade for summoning deceased

We traveled in the woods by an old cabin place
Away from our neighborhood where we would leave not a trace

It was always tradition to bring someone new
And since I was in charge; I chose the quietest girl from school

You know her kind; the very gullible one
Who will do anything to impress and have fun

That girl who is shy, but wants to break loose
She hides thoughts inside and is easily seduced

I told her about this party; what a way to meet friends
A great way to fit in, but I was playing pretend

So naive and innocent; beautiful virgin skin
But what happened to her was indeed such a sin

Our group started camp; set up fires and stakes
The fall evening was damp; moonlight shining on lakes

We dressed up in black and covered in hoods
Except for that girl; as confused as she should

She had asked me a question; "Where is the food?"
Grinning I said, "Soon, my dear. Soon."

After some chanting; we drank and we smoked
Followed by dancing; some laughed and some choked

The music was playing; people were sharing
Stories and displaying ideas that were daring

But to this poor girl; completely aware
I could tell in her eyes; she was growing scared

That's when it happened; the sound of a gong
We wrestled her down; stripped to a thong

She was begging and pleading; tears in her eyes
With a knife in her thigh; what a surprise!

She rose from our grasp and scampered away
What a silly thing to do for there was no escape

But just for amusement; we watched her squirm
Before impaling her back like a hook and a worm

We removed her nails; hacked her to shreds
Gouged out her eyes; severed her head

We each took a part; devoured her whole
Chewed up her skin and spit the bones in a bowl

Some parts were slimy, but her skin was so chewy
The meat on her bones was dripping and gooey

But that's how its done here down in the south
Her skin was sticking to the roof of our mouths

To wash this down; we drank her blood like tea
Like the tea one would find at a Halloween party

And when it was over; I could have sworn her screams
Echoed in our stomachs; fused in our genes

We played lots of games for the rest of the night
Those who won prizes got to take home her eyes

This is our tradition; we mask it with cheers
Luring the innocent; will you join us this year?

Its really a blast; will you come if I plea
Who doesn't enjoy a good Halloween party?

The festivities are profound; come if you care
I promise with you the best food I can share

But I promise you this; if you say no
You better watch out; you reap what you sow

For this Halloween; my eyes will select
The newest of victims; one who is perfect
