[Verse 1]
You drew a circle in the frost
Then kicked the latch and counted costs
Your boots were tied with copper thread
A black cat watched from your bed
[Pre-Chorus]
The church clock swallowed twelve
You left your name upon the shelf
One match, one laugh, the rafters stirred
And every sleeping crow was heard
[Chorus]
Under the silver moon, we rise
Over the fields where the cold fog lies
Cloak pulled tight, and the stars rush by
All Hallows’ Eve, we own the sky
Under the silver moon, don’t look below
The old bells ring where the dead leaves blow
You took my hand; the dark said, “Fly”
All Hallows’ Eve, we own the sky
[Verse 2]
We skimmed the roofs of Briar Glen
Past shuttered shops and empty dens
A pumpkin grin flashed by the lane
Then vanished in the windowpane
[Pre-Chorus]
The mill wheel turned without a stream
The ravens stitched across our beam
You said, “Keep close, the dawn is near”
I heard the night breathe in my ear
[Chorus]
Under the silver moon, we rise
Over the fields where the cold fog lies
Cloak pulled tight, and the stars rush by
All Hallows’ Eve, we own the sky
Under the silver moon, don’t look below
The old bells ring where the dead leaves blow
You took my hand; the dark said, “Fly”
All Hallows’ Eve, we own the sky
[Bridge]
At the ridge, you let go first
The moon went pale, the clouds reversed
I held your sleeve; you turned and smiled
“Come back next year, my borrowed child”
[Final Chorus]
Under the silver moon, we rise
Over the fields where the cold fog lies
Cloak pulled tight, and the stars rush by
All Hallows’ Eve, we own the sky
Under the silver moon, hear the crows cry
We leave no footprints, we leave no sign
You took my hand; the dark said, “Fly”
All Hallows’ Eve, we own the sky
[Outro]
Under the silver moon
We own the sky
