Bilskirnir

Autumn Fires

Bilskirnir


Opened the portals to the worlld beyond 
Emerging from the shadows 
The wind carries their whispering 
Echoes from days of old 

As the summer leaves 
And life fades away 
The spirit of the dead 
Awaits to return 

Autumn fires are burning 
To light their ways 
Sacred this night is 
When boundaries of life and death disappear 

When the dead leave their realm 
To touch the world of mortals 
For some of us to hear 

When the dead leave their realm 
To touch the world of mortals 
For some of us to see 

When the dead leave their realm 
To touch the world of mortals 
Just a few will understand 

Let the fires burn bright 
To guard their ways 
Closing the circle of life and death 
This night belongs to the dead...
