Effigy

This is unique for October Noir that it really sounds like , one of two songs in the album that really sounds like a different band (the other being "Sistinas"). In this case, the song is punky and sludgy and it is also very repetitive. It has lyrics about camping out in the woods where the girl next door summons a demon who goes on to kill everyone on Halloween night.
The music video released for this song shows band members wearing masks and unusual style of clothing performing with scenes of bloody gore. Featured in the video are vocalist and bassist Tom Noir is the Frat Boy, drummer Danny Stickz as the Jock, guitarist Doug Lane as the Nerd, and several non-band members.
Brian Kohl (husband of band's photographer Dee Dee Kohl) helped Tom write this song and played all clean guitar in this one.
== Lyrics ==
A circle of our friends
Camp fire in haunted woods
From her sanguine stare
and the howling of the wolves
Her body language signs
elope into the night
Our secrets kept
in persuasive alibis
Multiple metaphors
escaping to the dark
What would the others say
if we happened to get caught?
"Now hush that pretty mouth
and climb between my thighs"
This was the moment when
our friends were sure to die - Oye!
There's a killer
loose with a blood lust
I'm none the wiser
I blame my own lust
And you give, and you give, and you give
with hips so dangerous
We should be heading in
but I'm just too focused
On the way that she lies spread
in perfect effigy
On this Halloween
Of oozing pheromones
this nectar of fine oil
Where steel now meets the bone
Blood fused with quakened soil
Our wooded wonderland
decorated with desire
Her arching back confirms
another death transpired
The circle of our friends
found dead by morning woods
I'll never know of when
but the blame is on us
Ashes to ashes
and lust to lust
Fingers surely point
we'd better get lost - Oye!
There's a killer
loose with a blood lust
I'm none the wiser
I blame my own lust
And you give, and you give, and you give
with hips so dangerous
We should be heading in
but I'm just too focused
On the way that she lies spread
in perfect effigy
On this Halloween
The right place and the right time
For we were nowhere in sight
Surely, surely it couldn't be us
Oh, surely, surely it couldn't be
