From the west comes old Death
A-riding on the storm
With hungry eyes for funeral fires
To burn till the morrow's dawn
For tis the night, here comes the dead
Unbound from the Underworld
And the children dress as the babes of Hell
All the boys and all the girls

And the fires shall burn
And the wheel of life shall turn
And the dead come back home on Samhain
And in the night sky on the lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain

At the Sabbat high on the funeral hill
Wait the witches at the feast
For the first winter's day
The first winter's sun
A-rising in the east
For Death has come for the summertime
And to take the leaves of spring
Hecate, Nemesis, Dark Mother take us in

And the fires shall burn
And the wheel of life shall turn
And the dead come back home on Samhain
And in the night sky on the lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain
And the fires shall burn
And the wheel of life shall turn
And the dead come back home on Samhain
And in the night sky on the lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain

And the fires shall burn
And the wheel of life shall turn
And the dead come back home on Samhain
And in the night sky on the lunar light they fly
And the dead come back home on Samhain
