Hail

The moon is high and bleeding light blood red

Illuminates the faces of our dead

Look close enough and see Lucifer's breath

Whose words alone will draw you from your flesh

Hail to the victorious dead

Drink to warriors and kin

Tales told unto our young

Old tales upon new tongues

We know the moon will wax and wane its way

Across our sky until sun brings light of day

We keep you close knowing you will stray

We know not what will rise from fog so gray

Hail

Our elders will impart to us the knowledge of the ancient ways

But we must choose to light or darken our road

Denying not what is unknown, keep your blade bright and honed

Keep your children close under the harvest moon

The icy water that flows below carries with it

All of the souls of those who have yet to make their way

Our elders will impart to us the knowledge of the ancient ways

But we must choose to light or darken our road

Denying not what is unknown, keep your blade bright and honed

Keep your children close on Samhain

The icy water that flows below carries with it

All of the souls of those who have yet to make their way

Light your fire bright and welcome them

And celebrate your dead on this holy day Samhain
