*December
(An Original Ethereal Celtic Winter Ballad)

Verse 1
In the hush where the cold winds sing,
Candles bloom like remembering.
Shadows dance where the hearthlight glows,
Old songs drift through the falling snow.

Pre-Chorus
Whispered tales of oak and flame,
Call the spirits by their name.

Chorus
December, oh December —
Keeper of the fire’s ember,
Guide the lost through frost and fear,
Bring the light that draws us near.
In the dark, our hopes surrender —
To the heart of old December.

Verse 2
Green of holly, red of pain,
Echoes linger in the rain.
Fires burn for the year’s last breath,
Love still lingers, outwits death.

Pre-Chorus
Dreamers weave what time forgets,
Between the veils, the sun still sets.

Chorus
December, oh December —
Keeper of the fire’s ember,
Guide the lost through frost and fear,
Bring the light that draws us near.
In the dark, our hopes remember —
The faith of old December.

Bridge
Through the mists, the spirits roam,
Seeking hearths to call their home.
We lift our songs, our hearts, our hands,
To greet the dawn across the lands.

Final Chorus
December, oh December —
Bless the weary, make us tender.
Though the cold may guard the night,
We are sparks of ancient light.
In the stillness, we surrender —
To the soul of old December.

(Outro)
And when the frost begins to wane,
We’ll rise as one — and live again.
