Forefathers' Eve

Darkness all around, silence all round
What'll happen, what'll happen?
Darkness all around, silence all round
What'll happen, what'll happen?
Darkness all around, silence all round
What'll happen, what'll happen?
Darkness all around, silence all round
What'll happen, what'll happen?
 
Tonight two worlds will become one,
Come to celebrate Forefathers' Eve.
Tonight two worlds will become one,
We commence Forefathers' Eve.
 
Burn the fires at the crossroads,
Let them serve as torches,
So the dead may freely
find his way home.
Close the windows,
Don't let the light in.
Douse the candles.
We want night to fall.
Ready the food,
Let there be plenty of everything.
Everyone'll find his consolation.
He lustfull, he desireful.
We see them close at hand.
Voices are being, sreams as well.
It's time to commence Forefathers' Eve
Ghost of the Ancestors! Come!
 
"Where's our son?
He is not home"
He strides still
Takes back forefathers' bounties
He abide no
principles, nor rules.
An' he know not of
punishment awaiting him.
 
He'd not obeyed the forbiddance
He'll be punished severly.
He'd done against the customs,
He's lost his sanity.
He'd not obeyed the forbiddance
He'll be punished severly.
He'd done against the customs,
He's lost his sanity.
