There are several moments during the year where the veil between the dead and the living is thin. One of these is the sabbath of Samhain, the 31st of october. We think this is related to nordic traditions but it’s not. In the past we were all connected to these ancient rituals, and even in the countryside of Italy, beds and food were prepared for the dead to come back to their homes during this special night.
lyrics
Rise, tonight
The veil is weak
For real, they’re here
Back in life
All well arranged all well awake
Once in a year, the calling is clear
The passed away can come back again
Rise of the dead
Walking in lines, back to their bedrooms tonight
Rise of the dead
Walking in lines, hungry and thirsty for life
Rise of the dead
Walking in lines, back to their bedrooms tonight
Rise of the dead
Walking in lines, hungry and thirsty for life
I want to listen, I want to talk, I want to know more about your lives
I hear your voices, Whispering souls
Tell me your stories one more time
Death is just a phase of life
Death is just the hidden side
And I will listen, and I will ask about the ways you crossed the gate
Through your dead eyes, through your dead mouths, you will show me the last way
Death is just a phase of life
Death is just the hidden side of the wheel
