Winter Solstice

from One Wiltshire Winter by Archie Atholl

/

lyrics

Holy Father, Light, Creator, Thy will be done.
On this Winter Solstice, with the rise of the Sun
Shadows over me I’m told will fade
I’ll no longer live to be afraid, of the messes I have made.

Earthen Mother, Goddess of the planet and Womb
Of Creation, hear my invocation to you
Fill me with the courage to be strong
The valour to face my woes head on, next time it all goes wrong.

When I finally learn to accept myself
I may be able to love somebody else.

Holy Father, Light, Creator, Thy will be done.
On this Winter Solstice, with the rise of the Sun
As the Holly King gives up his throne
Maybe I’ll appreciate what I have long before it’s gone.

When I finally learn to accept myself
I may be able to love somebody else.

True. I always said one day I’d quit
This moment may as well be it, before I’m harder hit
Before I lose my sanity, and what little good’s in me
Me and my spiritual virginity shall leave our legacy.

Holy Father, Light, Creator, Thy will be done
On this Winter Solstice, faith shall come with the sun.

Like my shadow flits across the stones
Or how the West wind blows
If my power goes, then that’s the risk I take.
