Samhain Chant

Fire red, summer's dead

Yet it shall return.

Clear and bright, in the night,

Burn, fire, burn!



Chorus:Dance the ring, luck to bring,

When the year's a-turning.

Chant the rhyme at Hallows-time,

When the fire's burning.



Fire glow, vision show

Of the heart's desire,

When the spell's chanted well

Of the witching fire.



Chorus:Dance the ring, luck to bring,

When the year's a-turning.

Chant the rhyme at Hallows-time,

When the fire's burning.



Fire spark, when nights are dark

Makes our winter's mirth.

Red leaves fall, earth takes all,

Brings them to rebirth.



Chorus:Dance the ring, luck to bring,

When the year's a-turning.

Chant the rhyme at Hallows-time,

When the fire's burning.



Fire fair, earth and air,

And the heaven's rain,

All blessed be, and so may we,

at Hallows-tide again.



Chorus:Dance the ring, luck to bring,

When the year's a-turning.

Chant the rhyme at Hallows-time,

When the fire's burning.
