He's waiting for that special soul
Eduardo King his ultimate prize
Thirteen is the number on the door
Of the gothic Carpenters Inn
There are no other properties for miles
But he enjoys the joke with a sadistic grin
Thirteen candles burn brightly
On the wrought iron chandeliers
Thirteen is the lucky number
That plays on their superstitious fears
Thirteen precisely carved pumpkins
Knowingly smile at the arriving guests
Their flames flicker in anticipation
At the fear inducing obsessed
Thirteen bullets he has prepared
All polished in their case
Sir Allen Edgar fingers them delicately
While smoothing the scar on his face
This year he knows he'll come
Lucky number thirteen
For he knows he was watching last year
The carving of his lover he seen.
