Today is the day unlike any other

When forms and sounds can make us shudder.

 

Today is the day we must beware

Of those who rip and cut and tear.

 

Today is the day we’re all gonna pay, a day most appalling

On such a day the sky could be falling.

 

A day of darkness a day of evil

A day to put our hearts in upheaval.

 

A day for weeping a day for creeping

A day for tombs and shuttered rooms.

 

On this day past we’ve stood aghast

At forms and shapes that weird shadows cast.

 

Across the floor along the ceiling

Scurrying things that send us reeling.

 

Beneath the floor beyond the door

What cold flesh stirs in blood and gore?

 

And long buried things – the most dangerous kind –

Rise up from the basement beneath our mind.

 

This is the time the most dread of all

When demons and spirits awake to the call.

 

There’s nothing to do there’s nowhere to run

Lament, lament the dying sun!

 

For today is that day what more to say?

It’s Friday the Thirteenth –

Let us pray, let us pray!
