Trick or Treat

What happens when the end is near?
When you hear death begin to knock?
What happens when you quiver in fear?
Afraid of the next tick of the clock.

Outside your door a shadow of death is cast.
But this image just doesn�t make sense.
You�ve never been a bad person in the past.
Using your solitude as your only defense.

You know what it has finally come for�
The moment you feared is now here.
Your hands tremble as you open the door.
Upon your cheek lays a single, cold tear.

As you open the future to what fate may come,
A sense of idiocy forms within your mind.
There�s no one outside your personal kingdom,
A child and a Halloween costume are all you find.
