Lyrics
Verse
The frost has crowned the silent land,
A realm of bone,
A world of sand.
The raven’s cry
Cuts through the night,
A shadow-winged and ancient rite.
The wind growls deep,
The forests groan,
But in the dark, a spark is sown
A heartbeat warm
Within the cold,
A whispered hymn from days of old.
Pre-Chorus
Gather now, O kindred flame,
Call the sun by secret name!
Chorus
The long night ends
The fire roars!
The solstice sun will rise once more!
Ohhh
Raise your horns,
Defy the night
We scream to wake the newborn light!
Verse
A single spark
Begins to swell,
To break the grasp
Of winter’s spell.
Through drifting snows
And shadows vast,
The flame outlives the longest past.
The oak and ash
In iron wind
Creak like gods who will not bend.
We stand as one,
Our voices rise
The dawn takes root in ancient skies!
Pre-Chorus
Round the blaze, O spirits bold,
Turn the wheel as in days of old!
Chorus
The long night ends
The fire roars!
The solstice sun will rise once more!
Ohhh
Raise your horns,
Defy the night
We scream to wake the newborn light!
Bridge
Ohh
Yule!
The turning never dies,
Through frost and blood,
Through endless skies.
With hands entwined,
We praise the flame
Through every age,
It burns the same.
Drums of earth,
And hearts of stone
Tonight the sun reclaim its throne!
Final Chorus
The long night ends
The dawn is crowned!
The golden wheel begins its round!
Ohhh
Stand your ground,
Let spirits rise
We roar into the newborn skies!
The long night ends
The fire’s might!
We live again in newborn light!
