The fields are empty. The nights are growing longer. Tonight, we remember what waits beyond the dark. [Verse 1 – The Last Harvest] Bring in the final apples, leave the empty fields behind. The last light fades above us, winter waits beyond the line. No more grain upon the threshing floor, no more green upon the tree. We gather what the earth has given, before the dark comes silently. The old year closes slowly. The cold is at the door. Tonight we cross a boundary we have crossed a thousand times before. [Pre-Chorus] Carry the wood. Prepare the hill. Keep every flame alive. Something is waiting in the darkness. Something knows that we have arrived. [Chorus] Samhain, when the gates are open wide, Samhain, when the dead walk by our side. Light the fire, hold the night at bay. Samhain, the dark begins today. [Verse 2 – Open the Graves] Leave bread beside the graves now, leave a cup beside the stone. For those who walked before us, let them know they are not alone. The ancient hills are breathing. The old ones wait below. The doors between the worlds grow thin when autumn leaves the road. Once, the greatest gifts were given. Even blood was not spared. The firstborn for the god below, when fear was called a prayer. But we remember, not repeat it. The old gods stay in stone. Tonight we bring them bread and fire, and let the dead sleep on. [Verse 3 – The Fire on the Hill] One fire upon the Hill of Ward, one fire upon Tara's height. Two flames against the coming winter, two beacons in the night. Raise the torches. Feed the embers. Let the darkness see our flame. If the spirits cross the boundary, let them know we know their name. The fire is more than fire tonight. It guards the living land. It burns against the winter, it burns beneath our hands. [Chorus] Samhain, when the gates are open wide, Samhain, when the dead walk by our side. Light the fire, hold the night at bay. Samhain, the dark begins today. [Bridge – Walk Through the Fire] Step through the flame. Man and beast. Young and old. Leave the old year in the ashes. Walk out clean. Walk out cold. Carry the ember home. Carry the fire inside. Take the heart of the hill with you, and keep the winter outside. [Verse 4 – Wear the Face] Now paint the faces. Hide the eyes. Change the shape of skin. If something walks among us tonight, do not let it know who you have been. Make yourself ugly. Make yourself strange. Let the spirits pass you by. Wear the face they do not recognize. Wear the face that makes them hide. The masks are not for laughter. The masks are not a game. Tonight we become strangers so the dead forget our names. [Dark Nu Punk Break] No face. No name. No past. No claim. Knock on the door. Call through the dark. Who is outside? Who is inside? Don't let them know. Don't let them know. Don't let them know your name. [Final Chorus – building] Samhain, when the gates are open wide, Samhain, when the dead walk by our side. Feed the fire. Guard the flame. Winter has entered the world again. Samhain, the boundary disappears. Samhain, the ancient night is here. [Outro – quiet, almost whispered] The fire burns. The graves are fed. The masks are worn. The doors are open. For one night, the worlds are near. For one night, we remember. Samhain. And somewhere beyond the fire... something remembers us.
