THE DRUMS OF SAMHAIN

THE DRUMS OF SAMHAIN

– by Chanticleer

The drums of Samhain keeping time.
The gates of magic open wide.

A cauldron’s blessings overflow.

The candle flames are dying low.

The witches dance the circle ’round

to chant and bring the power down.
Hecate will hear our call
to turn the summer into fall.

The magic veil is growing thin.

The Netherworld is near our own.
We’ll see the sacred fire fed

while witches commune with the dead.

The winds of Autumn call our names.

The driving rhythm slowly calms.

The glowing embers we will tend

until the drums of Samhain end.
