Ancient Fires

[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

dark, brooding, tribal drums, rock, electric; heavy guitar riffs with atmospheric synths, male vocals
