Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The harvest moon hangs in the sky,
The wind is cold, the dead walk by.
On Samhain’s night, the spirits rise,
From shadowed graves, beneath the skies.
The fires burn, the night is long,
The whispers grow, a haunting song.
Beware the souls who seek their rest,
For those who wander are not blessed.
[Chorus - Male and Female Voices in Harmony]
"Samhain’s eve, the dead draw near,
The veil is torn, the night is here.
Give your offerings, hide your light,
For restless souls shall rule the night."
[Verse 2]
The Púca comes, with eyes aglow,
A shapeless fiend from lands below.
He haunts the fields, he shifts his form,
A trickster born of ancient storm.
The Fae they dance, their faces pale,
Through forests dark, where shadows sail.
They take the young, they steal the old,
On Samhain night, their grip is cold.
[Chorus - Male and Female Voices in Harmony]
"Samhain’s eve, the dead draw near,
The veil is torn, the night is here.
Give your offerings, hide your light,
For restless souls shall rule the night."
[Bridge]
The bonfires burn, but can’t repel,
The spirits rising from their hell.
The witches chant, the owls cry,
The banshees wail, the living die.
The night it holds no mercy still,
For those who wander on the hill.
In every gust, in every breath,
The ghosts will bring you closer to death.
[Final Chorus - Male and Female Voices in Harmony]
"Samhain’s eve, the dead draw near,
The veil is torn, the night is here.
Give your offerings, hide your light,
For restless souls shall rule the night."
[Outro]
And when the dawn begins to break,
The living souls no longer wake.
On Samhain’s night, the dead will reign,
Until the sun returns again.
