Solstice Fires

The moon waxes full

A spell of eclipse

Summoned by the orb

That welcomes winter rites!

A circle of stones

Stands silent on the hill - Brooding

Forlorn

Upon the ancient brow

The shadows of midnight

Grow longer - unreal

At the hour when the gods

Doth descend on the earth!

Odin shall see

Our fires at solstice!

Thor will be warned

By our fires at solstice!

Flames rise high

Burning gold and a' glow

To please the gods

And welcome solstice!

The wolves in the woods

Howl a symphony

And race under the pale

Ghoul-ridden sky

I'm standing between

the granite monoliths

No fear in my heart

As a son of the night!

Odin shall see

Our fires at solstice!

Thor will be warned

By our fires at solstice!

Flames rise high

Burning gold and a' glow

To please the gods

And welcome solstice!
