Lyrics
Guising night
Sacred, bewitching
Leave food out
Stave off the wicked
Things that hide are shown this night
Cross yourself
Keep candles alight
Stoke your bonfire
Fill the air
Ancient feast to rever
Those that walk again
Are not just ghosts
Beware of strangers
Keep your love ones close
Do you hear that sound?
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only
Leaving tomb and tree
From rivers crawling
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine
Hide your face
And guard your soul
Hang a Hawthorn above your door
Wheel grinding through the year
Death of Summer
Winters snare
Do not stray far from the light
Puca, Sidhe and devil's are prowling from behind
Do you hear that sound?
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only
Leaving tomb and tree
From rivers crawling
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine
Do you hear that sound
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only
Time of the thinning
Between two worlds
Ancient beings roaming
Through cairns of stones
Hold your crucifix
And hawthorn stick
Keep your fire lighting
Awaiting first lights kiss
Do you hear that sound?
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only
Leaving tomb and tree
From rivers crawling
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine
