Lyrics
At the close of the year, tend the fire and pour the wine
find ye comfort in song, with Yule cheer pass the time.
In the circle we know that the dark is not to fear,
Welcome all in the divine embrace of shadow.
At the close of the year catch the snow upon your skin
evergreen fill the air, hold the starlight's warmth within
the cold brings relief from our labors through the heat
here we rest in the divine embrace of shadow
At the close of the year we know dawn is coming soon
Wheel turn, candle burn till the morning light illume.
But the winter imparts sacred wisdom in our hearts
ever cherish the divine embrace of shadow.
