The song is about the celebration of the first of November, its pagan origins and roots of its reminiscences in modern world.
lyrics
CANDLES ON THE GRAVES are burning with bright flames
BLAZING GLOW ABOVE GRAVEYARDS during this one night
IT IS THE FIREFEST!
IT IS THE FIREFEST – in Autumn night of light
FIRE! Make us pure – take us close to Gods
In the Firefest the souls return home
Fire, light and prayer, shows them the way to Earth...
Night of reflection and joy
A day for souls to rejoice
NIGHT OF THE NEWBORN AND DEAD – the eternal wheel of time
IT IS THE FIREFEST!
IT IS THE FIREFEST – in Autumn night of light
FIRE! Make us pure – take us close to Gods
In the Firefest the souls return home
Fire, light and prayer, shows them the way to Earth...
When ghosts and spirits haunt this world, we were born!
We were born in the Firefest, in the day filled with candles’ smell
In a day of nightly glow over the graveyard, full of life...
Born on the day of the Feast, it’s a day to remember
In which time slows for a while, during which the past comes forth with a misty breath
Touches the memories with decaying letters dressed in a red ribbon
Born in the night of Veles and Samhain – ancient divine judges
Born in the Firefest – our salutation scream to greet the world
The hope to shake off the fog and look in the face of Death
Born in the night of Veles and Samhain – ancient divine judges
Born in the Firefest – our salutation scream to greet the world
The hope to shake off the fog and look in the face of Death
NARROW BRIDGE ABOVE THE BOTTOMLESS river of time
SHORTEST THRESHOLD BETWEEN two different worlds
MERCY SIGN FROM ANCIENT Gods of World Beyond
THIS IS OUR FIREFEST!
IT IS THE FIREFEST – in Autumn night of light
In the Firefest the souls are returning home
Our Firefest, as during Ancient Times
