Light a candle, sing a songSay that the shadows shall not crossMake an oblation out of all you’ve lostIn the longest night.Gather friends and cast your hopesInto the fire as it snowsAnd stare at God through the dark windowsOf the longest nightOf the year.A night that seems like a lifetimeIf you’re waiting for the sunSo why not sing to the nighttimeAnd the burning stars up above?.Come with drums, bells and hornsOr come in silence, come forlornCome like a miner to the doorOf the longest night.For deep in the stillness, deep in the coldDeep in the darkness, a miner knowsThat there is a diamond in the soulOf the longest nightOf the year.A night that seems like a lifetimeIf you’re waiting for the sunSo why not sing to the nighttimeAnd the burning stars up above?.Maybe peace hides in a stormMaybe winter’s heart is warmAnd maybe light itself is bornIn the longest nightIn the longest nightOf the year
