[Intro – Medieval Dark Folk] [Distant Church Bells, Solo Hurdy Gurdy] [Cold Wind, Low Male Choir] [No Drums] [Deep Male Spoken Voice] On Hallows Eve, the last light dies The fall bleeds into the night, The last leaves dance in the moonlight. A church bell calls from far away, And something answers from the clay. [Instrumental – Atmospheric Black Metal] [180 BPM, Melodic Tremolo Guitars] [Traditional Snare Blast Beats, Controlled Single Kick] [Chorus – Harsh Male Vocals] [Ancient Male Choir Supporting] The children laugh, the black cats flee, The ravens gather in the trees. Behind each mask, beneath each grin, A face that death has worn again. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. [Verse 1 – Deep Male Harsh Vocals] [Fast Tremolo Guitars, Continuous Snare Blasts] When midnight comes, the dead break free, From every grave, they come for me. They came for blood, they came to stay— And dawn will find you gone away. [Chorus – Harsh Male Vocals, Male Choir] [Melodic Black Metal, Clear Guitar Harmonies] The graves split open, row by row, The dead call out from below. A skeletal hand tears through the ground, Dragging itself toward any living sound. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. [Instrumental – Extended Melodic Tremolo Guitar Passage] [180 BPM, Traditional Snare Blasts] [Two Harmonized Guitar Melodies] [No Choir, No Orchestra] [Verse 2 – Male Harsh Vocals] [Fast Atmospheric Black Metal] So bolt the doors and kill the flame, Speak not the dead by their true name. For those who wander Hallows Eve May take the souls of those who grieve. [Verse 3 – Male Harsh Vocals] [Continuous Snare Blasts, Melodic Tremolo] The village sleeps beneath the frost, The church bells toll for all the lost. A hundred voices fill the air, Yet not a living soul stands there. They whisper softly through the rain, And call the names of those who remain. Behind the windows, candles shake, As ancient things begin to wake. [Chorus – Harsh Male Vocals, Male Choir] [Powerful Melodic Black Metal] The graves split open, row by row, The dead call out from below. A skeletal hand rips through the ground, Dragging its hunger toward the living sound. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. [Instrumental – Short Medieval Folk Interlude] [Solo Hurdy Gurdy, Mourning Violin] [No Drums, No Distorted Guitars] [Bridge – Deep Male Spoken Voice] [Quiet Church Bells] So leave a candle by the door, And leave some bread upon the floor. For every soul that walks tonight Was once alive beneath the light. And if you hear your mother call, From somewhere deep beyond the wall, Remember what the old ones said— [Distant Female Whisper] My child... Can you hear me? [Brief Silence] [Deep Male Whisper] Never answer... [Instrumental – Immediate Black Metal Return] [180 BPM, Traditional Snare Blast Beats] [Fast Melodic Tremolo Guitar Lead] [No Orchestra] [Verse 4 – Demonic Male Harsh Vocals] [Relentless Atmospheric Black Metal] The ancient bells begin to cry, As shadows gather in the sky. The chapel doors are open wide, But no one dares to look inside. A thousand footsteps cross the square, A thousand whispers fill the air. And every voice you once held dear Is calling from the darkness near. [Final Chorus – Harsh Male Vocals, Ancient Male Choir] [Soaring Tremolo Guitars, Powerful Snare Blasts] The graves split open, row by row, And everything buried starts to grow. A skeletal hand rips through the ground, Dragging its hunger toward the living sound. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. On Hallows Eve, never answer the dead. [Final Refrain – Male Harsh Vocals] [Full Band, Melodic Guitar Harmonies] WHEN THE DEAD CALL OUT YOUR NAME! DO NOT ANSWER! DO NOT TURN! [Male Choir] Never answer the dead... Never answer the dead... [Outro – Melancholic Tremolo Guitar Melody] [Gradually Remove Drums] [Return to Solo Violin and Distant Church Bells] [Deep Male Whisper] The night is almost over... [Distant Female Whisper] My child... [Deep Male Whisper] That is not my mother. [Final Church Bell] [End]
