A candle burns inside an empty pumpkin head ,

and not a happy word from Jack is ever said .

Flames flicker behind two hollow eyes , a strange light ,

and shadows creep around in the silence of night  .

Inside his fiery head ,he hides from the whispers .

He looks out from the inside and silently stares .

The candle wick is almost gone ,

say goodbye Jack .

Inside his empty head everything went black .

Into the shadow world , where darkness was before ,

Halloween closed the door and then Jack was no more  .
