[Verse]
Blackened skies they shiver awake
Pine and frost on the earth we take
Cold breath rising from the stone
The forest whispers we’re not alone
[Prechorus]
Crows circle slow
The wind it moans
What have we lost
What have we known
[Chorus]
Ancient fires burn tonight
Through the dark
Through the night
Yule returns
The wheel will turn
In the flames we live
We learn
[Verse 2]
Holly sharp
The mistletoe's sting
Shadows dance while the cold winds sing
Old gods linger in the smoke
The oak king rises
The chains are broke
[Chorus]
Ancient fires burn tonight
Through the dark
Through the night
Yule returns
The wheel will turn
In the flames we live
We learn
[Bridge]
The longest night
The sacred fight
Light will fall but rise in might
We bow to stars
We bow to trees
Echoes of blood in the icy breeze
