On All Hallows’ Eve

Intro
Cold wind through the lantern flame
Leaves whisper someone’s name
Midnight stands on hollow ground
Where lost voices gather round

⸻

Verse – Female Vocal
All Hallows’ Eve beneath the trees
Frost along the garden wall
I feel something in the breeze
Like a voice about to call

In the dark beyond the gate
Where the quiet shadows lie
Someone waits beside the veil
Where the living seldom try

⸻

Pre Chorus – Female Vocal
The air grows thin
The night grows deep
Something waking
In my sleep

⸻

Chorus – Duet
The veil is thin tonight
Between the dark and light
Your breath and mine
So close they intertwine

Step closer to the line
Where lost and living meet
But something in the wind
Begins to pull my feet

⸻

Verse – Male Vocal
I remember candlelight
I remember summer rain
Now I wander endless halls
Of memory and pain

I was someone once like you
With a future warm and bright
Now I drift along the edge
Of the never-ending night

⸻

Pre Chorus – Male Vocal
One step more
You’ll understand
The quiet world
Beyond your hand

⸻

Chorus – Duet
The veil is thin tonight
Between the dark and light
Your breath and mine
So close they intertwine

Step closer to the line
Where lost and living meet
But something in the wind
Begins to pull my feet

⸻

Bridge – Duet
Male Vocal:
Come with me where sorrow sleeps

Female Vocal:
Your voice pulls me through the deep

Male Vocal:
Leave the weight of living breath

Female Vocal:
Something waits behind your death

Duet:
The night is wide
The dark is kind
But fear still lingers
In my mind

⸻

Final Chorus – Duet
The veil was thin tonight
I almost crossed the line
Your voice inside
The hollow dark of mine

But dawn begins to rise
The world returns to form
And something in my heart
Refuses to be torn

⸻

Outro – Male Vocal fading
Then go back
To breath and flame
Leave the dark
From which I came

But remember
When winds grow thin

The veil
Will call
Again.
