All Hallows
Aviators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still air, the harvest moon in the sky
Fools scared of their supernatural demise
Raised hair on the back of your neck
Tells you something is lurking tonight
The hymns of the October wind are howling through the trees
The sun sets on a night to bring the bravest to their knees

A thin divide is lifted letting spirits through the fray
When shadows fall the beasts have come to scare us all away
Dark saints
All hallows
The villains hunt before they're off to the gallows on a
Cursed night
A bone chiller
Cover your eyes, 'cause you're living a thriller

Red feast, of bounty for violent delights
Released from hell and its unending spite
One breach, every hundred years
To let the masked reign the living with fright
A ravenous monstrosity to put
Lovecraft to shame
When horrors born with countless eyes, arise without a name
The living and the citizens once mourned but fear the dead
Those fiends have come for vengeance, and will bury them instead
Dark saint
All hallows
The villains hunt before they're off to the gallows on a
Cursed night
A bone chiller
Cover your eyes, 'cause you're living a thriller

The spirits and the whispers stir, the shadows come alive
The dead ones in their sleep no longer pressured to abide
Free reign, for those between the veil
Held tight within a harrowing tale
Lights out, hide on this unholy eve
When the mortal boundaries fail

Dark saint
All hallows
The villains hunt before they're off to the gallows on a
Cursed night




A bone chiller
Cover your eyes, 'cause you're living a thriller.

Overall Meaning

The song "All Hallows" by Aviators highlights the eerie atmosphere of Halloween night. The lyrics describe the still air with the harvest moon in the sky, causing even the bravest to be scared of their supernatural demise. The howling wind and the raise hair on the back of your neck indicate that something is lurking tonight. Trying to explain the inexplicable feeling of Halloween night, the lyrics hint at the ominous atmosphere of the festivities.


As the night proceeds, the boundary between the living and the dead becomes thin, giving spirits and the dead ones the freedom to cross over. The beasts come out to scare everyone away, treating them for their violent delights. The lyrics also describe the sheer horror of living in the Lovecraftian world, "where horrors born with countless eyes, arise without a name." Halloween gives the dead ones the vengeance they seek, and their fiendish desires are manifested among the living.


Overall, "All Hallows" is a ballad that eloquently describes the spine-chilling feeling of Halloween night. It captures the essence of the festivities, with its haunting overtone and the portrayal of the transition between the living and the dead.
