Halfway Through The Dark

On falls the longest night of the year
As the winter solstice draws near
A flash of flame;
That countryman of winter, wood, and snow
The weary traveler appears
The red fox walks alone
On a solitary roam
Drawn by the forces of the sphere
The winter may drag on,
But the nights aren’t stretching longer than tonight
Tonight…
The sun, she hides her face, diminishing the day
The fox stands sentinel to life’s undying strength
We’re halfway through the dark,
We’ve long and hungry nights to go
Keeping watch while others sleep,
The red fox waits
Light of foot, he tiptoes through the vale
The setting sun a fire on his trail
Chasing echoes from the underworld
A creature stirs below
To survive is nature’s great travail
He sets his face northeast,
For a predatory feast,
It’s blood for blood, a winter’s tale
See him leap into the cold, white snow!
The fox his vigil keeps,
While the weary world is weeping in the night
Waiting for light...
Ooh, ooh-ooooh; ooh, ooh-ooooh
The fox may have its den
But not so the Son of Man
The world won’t claim the little babe
The one who came
To offer blood and tears for them
And so he weeps; and so we wait
Til we know not when...

Christmas Song

Coming back from the country
Full of good food and lousy beer
This winters so dry, the dirt roads so dusty
At the lightest fall of rain, the bacteria blooms
You don't have to be alone to lonesome
It's easy to forget
When sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window
And it's Christmas and no one can fix it
Tethered to a table with the happy holiday crowd
And it's anchors away
It looks like smooth sailing
But the merest hint of waves could capsize you
You don't have to be alone to lonesome
It's easy to forget
When sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window
And it's Christmas and no one can fix it
Your desire for annihilation is as common as it is unkind
And it's hard to recognize the situation
When you're desperately trying to have a good time
You don't have to be alone to lonesome
It's easy to forget
When sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window
And it's Christmas and no one can fix it

You Know I Love You

I have loved you ever since that day
When I found out that you'd be my bride
I was only a kid
You were only a child
But I'll love you until the end
I was faithful, I always will be
And I'll never love another girl
'Cause I follow the Law,
Yeah I follow the Lord
And I'll love you until the end
You know I love you and I always will
You know I love you and I always will
Ever since I found out that you'd be my bride
And I'll love you until the end
Then I found out that you were with child
And there was no way that it could be mine
But I'll always be kind; I'll divorce you real quiet
And I'll love you until the end
Then an angel came to me in a dream
And he told me not to be scared
'Cause you were still pure
And the child was the Lord's
The Holy Anointed One
You know I love him and I always will
You know I love him and I always will
Ever since I found out that I'd be his dad
And I'll love him until the end
You know I love you and I always will
You know I love you and I always will
Ever since I found out that you'd be my bride
And I'll love you until the end
And I'll love you until the end
And I'll love you until the end

There is too much to be said about this album. Let it suffice that our Christmas project may not have happened if it weren't for this collection.

The Light Came Down

I remember the excitement among our group when we heard Josh Garrels released a Christmas album. Well, that original hype did not burn out. After many listens, we still love this Christmas album.
