Nighttime rite, the autumn sky
The time of rain, mountain slope
Dead winter calls, three months of devotion

Commemoration of the departed
Ancestor’s veneration - the reverence
The breath of night in the cold starlight

Ethereal awe, the kiss of death
Catharsis, purification of the flesh

Spiritual cleansing, repudiation of the void
Togetherness of the living, effervescence

Nighttime rite, the autumn sky
The time of rain, mountain slope
Dead winter calls, three months of devotion

Divine, divine fire, insight beyond the realm
Climbing, climbing, higher, smelling the limestone smell
Initiation, Pleiades rising, all souls feast
Worshipping the dead, the dead eyes, the words of priest

Nighttime rite, autumn sky
The time of rain, mountain slope
Dead winter calls, three months of devotion
