Samhain Lyrics



As the sun bleeds through the murk

'Tis the last day we shall work

For the veil is thin and the spirit wild

And the crone is carrying harvest's child



CHORUS:

Samhain turn away

Run ye back to the light of day

Samhain hope and pray

All ye meet are the gentle Fae



Burn the fields and dry the corn

Feel the breath of winter born

Stow the grain 'gainst season's flood

Spill the last of the livestock's blood



[CHORUS]



Let the feasting now begin

Careful who you welcome in

The table's set with a stranger's place

Don't stare openly at his face



[CHORUS]



Stranger, do you have a name?

Tell us all from whence you came

You seem more like god than man

Has curse or blessing come to our clan?



[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]
