King of the Jack-o'-Lanterns

Catch-ing copse and clever dead ends

Fuse his feet like taciturn friends –

He is the one of the masquerade name,

Feeding the dark like a sinister fla-ame.



King of the night and everything dark,

Tainting the night like a manifest mark

This is the time of alchemists' dream --

This is the eve of Hallo-we-en!



Jack! Jack-o'-La-antern's vine,

Climbs the stairway o-of your spine --

Chokes by chance the blossoming Yule,

keeps his cabalistic ru-ule ...



Jack! Jack-o'-Lantern King!

Keeps Allhallows on a stri-ing.

Jack! Jack -- ad hoc Noel!

Rules the realm a lonesome spell!



Jack! Jack, the ghost of bone --

Heed your own endemic throne!
