lyrics

SAMHAIN FEIS

The harvest fires are lit on the tops of the hills
A chill wind kicks at the fallen leaves
It’s a time for a cup of companionship
Some warmth to chase away all our fears and ills.

Orange and black
And bare harvest fields
Each year we take back
Some of the life nature yields
Bonfires and Masks
And visits from the dead
In the manner of the Celts we put
The old year to bed.

My friends have gathered ‘round to see the summer away
Winter is approaching with each quiet frost
Since before the Romans, we’ve celebrated change
Each season in time will have its way.

A smell of spice hangs on the cool night air
A jack o’lantern grins to protect us from harm
In the frozen days of winter, we’ll remember this eve
When the harvest fires chased away all our cares.
