lyrics

Heed November's coming fire
In the midst of Autumn's gloom
Light the lantern at the threshold
Let incense fumes immerse the room

Spirit Night, the brink of Winter
Where the departed might roam free
Onward to Summerlands
We light your way and welcome thee

Refrain:
Dark the night, spirit-lantern lights flicker
Through October's rain
Time stands still, the Gateway is open
On this night of Samhain

Celebrate! The memory of our ancestors
Eternally remain
I feel your presence behind the veil
On this night of Samhain

Set up the tables
Stoke up the hearth, so they might rest
Pour the wine to honour
The presence of our unseen guests

But watch out at nightfall
In shadows lurk strange things unseen
To prey on the unwary
In the dim light of Lunas gleam


Hear the lost souls' howling
Outside your doors they're prowling

Ward yourself with Mandrake
Mugwort,Sage and Nightshade!

Incense and spices keep the spirits away
You don't want to let in, whose you don't want to stay
Light candles to lead those you still keep in your heart
And welcome them back when the veil tears apart

When the veil tears apart
On Halloween!

Father, I miss you
But this night, I feel you're here
No longer blind, you watch us
For it's our love, which draws you near

Sister, you're smiling
I'm glad to feel, you're finally free
Be now our guest until I see you
When I will reach eternity

(Refrain)

(Hear the lost souls...)

(Refrain 2x)
