as the cries start to penetrate the still air,
this day we celebrate.
the wait now ends.
from four corners smoke plumes into a reddened sky.
in the face of lantern light, tonight
my destiny lies.
this day so hallowed,
this day so hallowed.
from here to forever it will i will follow. (2x)
tonight will come to life.
deadened branches stirred by the whispers in the wind.
fall children fill the street at dusk,
at last,
it all will begin
