The Haints in the Holler 

I’ll bet you a dollar 
And my fattest night crawler
That all the haints in the holler
Will be coming out tonight

The red moon is shinin 
There’s a tinglin in my spine and 
The wind it seems is pinin 
For a grim and gory rite

I hear werewolves howlin
And the roogaroos a prowlin
Every bird of prey is scowlin
And there’s a rustlin in the leaves

So we best head on home now
Cuz there’s no way and no how
I’ll be caught dead with my pants down
On this dark and spooky eve

But before we say good evenin
And from you I take my leave and
We avoid this awful reavin
Can you help a fella out?

There’s something I’m a needin
I’m beggin and a pleadin
For just a little bit of bleedin
From your sweet and tender throat!

I’m sorry for the deceivin
I know yer family will be grievin
But a haint has got to eat and
You’re blood’s a pretty sight

And so I’ll bet you a dollar
And my fattest night crawler 
That every haint in the holler
Is runnin wild tonight
Is out for blood tonight
Out like me
Tonight

The Haints In The Holler

A DANCE WITH DEATH

A WHISPER IN THE ABYSS

An acoustic, cello-driven cover of Chevelle's "Saferwaters," a song I've always loved.
