lyrics

Wind song calls the night
Stars wheel round, circling light
Gather here at winter’s door
Light the fire, the Old Year burns
Frost cuts through
Fire reveals all
Frost is true
Fire reveals

Circle the Solstice fire
Earth and sky
Dance among shadows
Shaped by firelight
Dance for all that draws us here
This longest night

Tree roots, branches bare
Veins of Earth, sparks in air
Two worlds meet as the year divides
Promise and danger intertwine

Candles glow
Sun returns out of night
Candles glow
Sun reborn

Circle the Solstice fire
Earth and sky
Dance among shadows
Shaped by firelight
Dance for all that holds us here
On Solstice night
