You step off the rattling bus
Gravel turns to silver dust
Camera hangs heavy on your neck
Bonfire cracks a blazing wreck
Ash and bone in morning light
Embers choke the starless night
Samhain breathes its final groan
Ash and bone, ash and bone
You frame the flames in copper wire
Sparks ascend like fleeing choir
Faces painted white and red
Dance where ancient druids bled
Ash and bone in morning light
Embers choke the starless night
Samhain breathes its final groan
Ash and bone, ash and bone
Midnight steals the heat away
Smoke writes letters dark and gray
You snap the last slow collapsing pyre
Wind sings through the briar wire
Ash and bone in morning light
Embers choke the starless night
Samhain breathes its final groan
Ash and bone, ash and bone
Bus engine coughs a low refrain
You climb inside the steel and rain
Viewfinder holds the dying glow
One more mile one more road
Ash and bone in morning light
Embers choke the starless night
Samhain breathes its final groan
Ash and bone, ash and bone
Ash and bone you walk alone
Shutter clicks the fire gone
