[Intro]
Underneath the crescent moon, a circle gathers tight
Facing dawn on New Year's eve, in the hush of fading light
Stories shared in flickering flame, shadows dance and sway
Hoping for a peace to come as the old year slips away
[Verse 1]
Around the fire, friends unite, voices blend in gentle hum
Waiting for the ticking time, for the new year's beat to drum
Sally's eyes, a worried glance, tells of silent pain
Her thoughts with the author, caught in suffering's chain
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of their fears, whisper in the night
Bound by hope and pain, seeking the morning light
[Chorus]
Hold on through the darkness, through the storm and rain
In the heart of struggle, hope remains
Tonight we stand together, fears so plain to see
In the warmth of friendship, we find our decree
[Verse 2]
Ty, the hermit on the hill, ponders if help is near
His mind a tangled maze, wrapped in doubt and fear
Hellhound’s eyes, dark and deep, watch the silent strife
A lonely guardian, guarding a fragile life
[Pre-Chorus]
Silent prayers ascend, into the starry sky
Awaiting dawn, for pain to pass by
[Chorus]
Hold on through the darkness, through the storm and rain
In the heart of struggle, hope remains
Tonight we stand together, fears so plain to see
In the warmth of friendship, we find our decree
[Bridge]
A cigarette unlit, a Quail untouched on the ground
Words unsaid, dreams deferred, in the night's profound sound
But in this shared sorrow, there's a spark of love
A promise that tomorrow will come, with blessings from above
[Outro]
As the fire dims and night retreats, and dawn begins to break
The souls united in hope, for their own and others' sake
A new year's light rises, over a world of pain and cheer
Together we'll face whatever comes, with love that conquers fear
