about

An horror Halloween story about a fictional character called Johnny The Reaper done in the style of prog rock to Rock your Halloween night.

lyrics

Johnny was born on october thirty one
when the moon was full and shone like a light
his face was deformed and his mind was deranged
his mother cast him off out of her site

She put him in a bag and left him for dead
in a woodland for the past 18 years he lied
his bones had grown as he rose to seek his revenge
found his mother and plucked out her eyes

You can't see me now Johnny cries out
raises his sickle and cuts off her head
(and leaves her for dead)

Johnny the reaper was soon to be known
a collector of skulls hung in his woodland home
he would hang them on trees on a halloween night
a keeper a reaper this man made of bone

His scythe will cut through you
if he ever sees you
so don't give him a chance
deaths just a glance

Johnny often prowled the streets late at night
knocking on doors playing trick or treat
the people who answered got such a terrible fright
and always felt the end of his scythe

He terrorised the streets in his local town
to the law it became a major concern
especially as the stories that came in were so far out
decapitated bodies were lying everywhere

Chief Inspector Perkins was soon to head the case
with a forty strong able bodied crew
he had posters put up all over the place
though with Johnny's description they never really had a clue
(No they never)

Johnny the reaper may never reap what he sewn
an ultimate killer this man made of bone
he showed no remorse for his victims he left dead
adding to his collection, a large number of heads

(break)

Now as the search went on lead by Perkins and his men
they could not even find a head or a clue
but as they widened their search into cumberstone woods
they soon came across quite a few

They sealed off the site and waited till night
to catch him red handed at his game
hoping to catch Johnny and put an end to his plight
was perkins and his men's real aim

Johnny showed up and his blade was lit up
from the reflection shining from the full moon
he soon put an end to the forty strong men
and with perkins he made forty two

There are many tales of Johnny that have never been told
some were left better unsaid
(better left alone to keep your head)

Johnny the reaper will always be known
all those who came across him never came home
he kept his blade razor sharp to take off their heads
left them decapitated left them for dead


His scythe will cut through you
if he ever sees you
so don't give him a chance
deaths just a glance
He sleeps in the daytime
and comes out at night
he will even take off your head
to make your halloween a deadly fright
