Another year's gone, hard to carry on
This winter seems to have no ending
In the longest night we still look for the light
To drag us all out of the darkness
There's a glimpse of hope for a good time to come
If the smoke will run towards the east
Let's gather around the bonfire tonight
Now go and collect branches and twigs
Light the big fire, your past torment's set ablaze
Fuel the flames
The bad fortune will burn to ashes
Dance, scream and shout, make your afflictions fade away
Yesterday's just a memory
Stay awake tonight, the pyre's alight!
A cinnamon scent pervades the cold air
The cauldron is boiling, the wine's warm
The wood has been chopped, everything now is set
The ritual is about to happen
Right after the dusk ancient rites will take place
Just like the ancestors have taught us
Can you hear the crackle? Do you feel the warmth?
The purification is closer
Light the big fire, your past torment's set ablaze
Fuel the flames
The bad fortune will burn to ashes
Dance, scream and shout, make your afflictions fade away
Yesterday's just a memory
Stay awake tonight, the pyre's alight!
Light the big fire, your past torment's set ablaze
Fuel the flames
The bad fortune will burn to ashes
Dance, scream and shout, make your afflictions fade away
Yesterday's just a memory
Stay awake tonight, the pyre's alight!
