Samhain Queen

Lyric Video for my song Samhain Queen. A female warrior falls in battle but her spirit is still tethered to her body as it is brought back for a ritual on Samhain night. She curses her village because her death is not being honored properly. #samhain #battle #warriors [Verse 1] I fell where the spear rain came In frost and blackened foam My blood on the shield boss My crown in the mud and bone They lift me from the wolves Laid stiff on the longship planks My eyes still know the sky My mouth still tastes the rancid dank [Pre-Chorus] Hush, you bearers Hear my teeth in the dark Hush, you liars I am not gone apart [Chorus] Samhain queen I rise in grief Samhain queen I curse through the veil Samhain queen Bring back my name Samhain queen Set the dead aflame [Verse 2] They parade my corpse through ash Past the stake and the birch-wet road My sisters beat their shields While the ravens learn my code I see my husband’s jaw Clenched hard like a broken ring I see the boys in wolf-skins Drag my salt-white offering [Pre-Chorus] Hush, you bearers Feel my cold in your arm Hush, you cowards You walk with a waking harm [Chorus] Samhain queen I rise in grief Samhain queen I curse through the veil Samhain queen Bring back my name Samhain queen Set the dead aflame [Bridge] Veil split wide I spit my spite Old shades crawl From the drowned moon night Mothers of frost Sons of the pyre Take my lash Take my fire [Breakdown] Bones, answer Shadows, come Ash to ash Drum to drum I call the black hounds I call the drowned I call the oath-breakers From underground [Final Chorus] Samhain queen I rise in grief Samhain queen I curse through the veil Samhain queen Bring back my name Samhain queen Set the dead aflame Samhain queen Hear my shriek Samhain queen Your halls will leak Samhain queen No peace for you Samhain queen The dead come through
