"I am the sun, I am Her son I am the light renewed I am the stag, I am the tree The warrior in you I give myself in death each fall Returning in the spring My birth comes near, to bring you light The circle soon completes" The circle soon completes
And at his sign the young men heaved The log into the fire The flames grew high and roaring loud The light climbed to the stars The warmth and heat filled all who came To marvel at the sight They waited there impatiently For dark to turn to light Dark to turn to light
The three still stood, in silence there The Goddess in their eyes They looked at each and everyone The Celts who'd gathered nigh They raised their hands, they raised the song They raised the cone of light They called the sun back from the dark And brought the earth to life They brought the earth to life
The people watched in wonder there As the sun appeared Over hills and over trees The light was bright and clear With gold and pink and red and rose The morning sky was filled The sun had come, returned to them Through power of their will Through power of their will
And with the dawn, the earth reborn The people found their beds The three, the priest their divine roles And aspects they did shed The wheel had turned through magic's call The light had been renewed In peaceful sleep, in loving arms Their hope did spring anew Our hope does spring anew
And so my friends, my story ends I must bid you goodnight And as I leave these words take heed And carry all your life Remember that the longest night Will never stay to last For light returns and fear is lost And hope burns through the past Hope burns through the past
