Halloween Dia de los Muertos

hope your enjoy i shared knowledge of two cultures i am from .. stay blessed yall send love your way Hook Gather 'round the fire and step through the gate, Dance with the forgotten and challenge your fate. In this sacred evening where magic is real, Break the silent border and shatter the seal. Verse 1 Ancient bonfires burning bright in the night, Samhain whispers secrets lost in the light. The thin veil will shatter as worlds intertwine, Calling home the spirits to cross the dark line. Dressed in pelts and shadows we hide from the dead, Silencing the voices of doubt and of dread. Through the smoke they wander searching for a home, In the freezing darkness where lost spirits roam. Leaving sweet offerings outside of the door, Binding us to ancestors gone long before. As the cycle changes and winter draws near, We embrace the mysteries rooted in fear. Hook Gather 'round the fire and step through the gate, Dance with the forgotten and challenge your fate. In this sacred evening where magic is real, Break the silent border and shatter the seal. Verse 2 All Hallows Eve brings the faithful to pray, Begging for a blessing to light up the way. Singing for the soul cakes and asking for grace, Seeking holy comfort in every dark place. Stingy Jack goes walking with coal in his hand, Banished and forgotten from every known land. Carving out a turnip to carry the spark, Guiding lost and weary souls through the deep dark. Sailing to the borders across the wide sea, Planting ancient roots of what's destined to be. Pumpkins in the window are burning so bright, Keeping all the monsters away from the night. Hook Gather 'round the fire and step through the gate, Dance with the forgotten and challenge your fate. In this sacred evening where magic is real, Break the silent border and shatter the seal. Verse 3 ( Día de los Muertos) Orange cempasúchil petals golden and bright, Guiding ancestor footsteps through the soft night. Build the tiered ofrenda with the portraits in frames, Light the sacred candles as we call out their names. Calaveras painted on a face made of clay, Pan de muerto resting on a decorated tray. Copal smoke rising up, message in the breeze, Welcome home the beloved through the marigold trees. No terror in the darkness, only honor and pride, Tasting sweet sugar skulls with the dead by our side. Fiddle plays, guitar strums, let the skeleton dance, Life and death intertwine, a eternal romance. Hook Gather 'round the fire step through the gate, Dance with the forgotten and challenge your fate. In this sacred evening where magic is real, Break the silent border, shatter the seal.
