All Hallows Eve
Type O Negative Lyrics

Fall fires burn 'neath black, twisted boughs
Candles light up the surroundings on this eerie night

Sacrifice to above
The singer is making an offering to the gods

Smoke swirling quickly towards misting clouds
The singer is transfixed and mesmerized by the sight of the smoke rising up from the fire

Offering of this blood
The artist has brought a blood sacrifice to be burned as an offering

Into the flames and without shame
The artist confidently tosses the sacrifice into the flames

Consumed with howls and screams
The fire roars out of control, accompanied by eerie howls and screams

Pumpkins grin in their despair
The sinister expressions on the carved pumpkins contribute to the haunted, unsettling atmosphere

On all Hallows eve
This phrase serves as a refrain, emphasizing the occasion

Cruel be the wind as it quells my words
The artist is having difficulty speaking due to the harsh wind

I shout out to the rain
The artist is invoking the power of the rain to help with the ritual

Incantations, I've so hope you've heard
The singer is reciting powerful magic spells and hopes they are effective

That you live again
The artist wants to bring someone back to life using the ritual

From deep earth brings forth
Something is rising up from deep underground

Rebirth witness but I shant believe
Although the singer is seeing a form of rebirth, they refuse to believe it

From below, a chilling glow
A mysterious and eerie light is emanating from underground

Be spiderwebbed and glazed in frost
The artist is describing someone who is adorned with spiderwebs and frost, creating a spooky appearance

She wears death beautifully
The artist thinks that someone looks beautiful, despite the fact they have died

More stunning now than in her life
The singer thinks the person looks even better in death than when alive

On a bed of autumn leaves
The person is lying on a bed of leaves that have fallen during autumn

Into her eyes and quite surprised I whispered,
The artist is surprised by the person's appearance and whispers softly

"Don't you leave"
The artist expresses their desire for the person to remain, rather than leave

Sing macabre songs an' we'll dance 'til dawn
The artist is suggesting that they dance and sing spooky songs all night

Saint Lucifer, hear me prayin' to thee
The singer is invoking the name of Lucifer, a saint in some beliefs, for assistance with the ritual

On this eve of all saints
The ritual is taking place on the night before All Saints' Day

High be the price but then nothing is free
The singer acknowledges the cost of their request, but emphasizes that everything comes with a price

My soul, I'll gladly trade
The singer is willing to trade their soul for the success of the ritual

Cold is the night in so many ways
The ambient temperature is cold, contributing to the spooky atmosphere

Lunar round, full and bright
The moon is full and bright, creating a stark contrast with the dark surroundings

Deep be the mud on the fresh dug graves
There are fresh graves nearby, and the artist notes the thick mud covering them

On yours, I recite
The singer is addressing someone specifically, and reciting a spell over their grave

An ancient spell, I know so well
The singer is well-versed with an old and powerful spell

Success is guaranteed
The artist believes that the spell will definitely work

I'll bring you back from where you've gone
The artist is confident that they can bring someone back from the dead
