GREETING THE FROST SPIRITS
Greet the spirits of the frost.
Turn our lake to coldest stone.
and make by light of moon your dance of winter flowers.
DANCE OF THE ICE SPRITES
(no lyrics)
DARKNESS FALLS
What Cruel Companion winter's beauty keeps.
Cold our bones, and take our light;
To leave this empty shadow,
Where wolves of night draw close,
As darkness falls.
