The Ghosts Come Out At Midnight

The Ghosts Come Out At Midnight

By Ronald McCalip

The ghosts come out about midnight

They walk from churchyard to knave

The ghosts walk about at midnight

Both nobleman and the Slave

The ghosts come out at midnight

Both the timid and the brave

The ghosts come out near midnight

Out and away from the foul grave

Some come out to seek justice

Some come back for a need

Some come for forgiveness

Some come to watch us bleed.

The ghosts come out by midnight

Yet they haunt both night and day

The ghosts come out at midnight

The Poltergeists just want to play

The ghosts they walk at midnight

Some are summoned by a friend

The ghosts they walk by midnight

For some, midnight will never end

Some come out and wail

Some come out and moan

Some show up as just a mist

Some reveal only bones

The ghosts arise at midnight

We don’t see them much during day

The ghosts arise by midnight

To see, some would even pay

The ghosts they walk by midnight

Some wish never, they pray.

The ghosts come out at midnight

So sad they never stay.

Some come back for evil

Some come out for good

Some come out because they’re lost

Some are misunderstood

My ghosts, they walk at midnight

Spirits in a bottle are no defense

My ghosts haunt me at midnight

They want their recompense

My ghosts are with me day and night

They are forever with me hence

My ghosts are up at midnight

Sometimes it’s quite intense
