Horrorthon

Conal Cochran: You don't really know
Much about Halloween you thought
No further than the strange custom
Of having your children
Wear masks and go out begging
For candy it was the
Start of the year in our old Celtic lands
And we'd be waiting in our houses
Of wattles and clay the
Barriers would be down
You see, between the real and the unreal
And the dead might be looking in
To sit by our fires of turf
Halloween the festival of Samhain!
The last great one took place
Three thousand years ago
When the hills ran red with the
Blood of animals and children
Daniel Challis: Sacrifices
Conal Cochran: A part of
Our worldof our craft
Daniel Challis: Witchcraft
Conal Cochran: To us
It was a way of controlling our environment
It's not so different now it's time
Again in the end, we
Don't decide these things
You know the planets do they're in alignment
And it's time again the world's
Going to change tonight
I'm glad you'll be able to watch it

Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Happy, happy Halloween, silver shamrock
Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Happy, happy Halloween, silver shamrock

It's almost time
Kids the clock is ticking be in
Front of your TV sets
For the Horrorthon and to remember
The big give away at 9: 00 don't miss it
And don't forget to wear
Your masks the clock is
Ticking it's almost time! (Laughter)
