It's Christmas

Everyone's out at parties
And where are you?
Trapped in your cave, wishing you had
Something better to do
The isolation is getting
To your head
What use is there for you
To leave your bed?
Snow covers the streets
No desire to get back on your feet
It's Christmas, and you're all alone
It's Christmas, and you're stuck at home
No gifts under the tree, is this what you want your Christmas to be?
No lumber in the fireplace
Skies rain hail and sleet
The eggnog in your fridge went sour
Been that way for a week
The ornaments are still in the box
The tree is not yet lit
In all the joy and merriment
You still feel like shit
Your solitude will be your end
Left without a single friend
It's Christmas, and you're all alone
It's Christmas, and you're stuck at home
Your stocking’s full of coal
It burns at least as hot as your damned soul
Maybe there’s a happy ending
Maybe there’s something more
Maybe there are carolers
Just outside your door
You don’t even have to celebrate
It’s just the time of year
It’s coming to a close, and everybody knows
It’s time to let go of your fears
It's Christmas, and you're all alone
It's Christmas, and you're stuck at home
If you don't change your ways
Your name will be forgotten after you’ve decayed

Blessed is the Flame

I’m not one for miracles, and yet I’m still amazed
How a small amount of oil, lit a fire for eight days
It wasn’t that big before, but now it fills once empty nights
A time for hope and unity, a festival of lights!
Blessed is the flame to lift us from despair
Long live the diaspora, we’re not going anywhere!
We’ve outlived many enemies, the pogroms and the czars
Those who twist our words and goals, how did we get this far?
It seems the worst is behind us, but sadly it’s just not true
The fight has only just begun, don’t let those bastards come for you!
