lyrics

Dark Autumn Rites

In agonal sighs of the dying-away October
The fire of a forest decline is reflected
In the melted gold of fallen leaves
Uneasy winds become colder, and shadows are extended

We're going to circle near the forest burial mounds
From there appearing the powerful shadows of the dead,
The patrons of our tribe and folk
And they require sacrifices, like fading forces of nature

We put before them the heads of the Roman soldiers,
Who slain druids and cut down the sacred groves
We share their flesh with the spirits of our ancestors
And sprinkle by their blood the cold autumn ground

We raise the bowls made of their skulls
And drink the blood of our fallen enemies,
Washing by it our faces and bodies

In the reflection of cold moon disk
We are holding hands, moving around in circle,
And our chants echoing in flattering thickets,
From where a lot of luminous eyes watching us

And spirits of our ancestors dance with us
Erased the line between the spirit world
And the living world in Samhain

From a wide circular stone altar rises
The swirling tall shadow with deer horns
In triumph he spreads his palms to the October night sky
And by his pointing finger, he dawns on us!

Great god of wild forest, Cernunnos, we greet you!
Veiled in darkness
You are who topped with deer horns,
Lord of the lower world,
Of forest, trees and beasts!
Praise to You!
