	Story Behind the Song This song came about after a HUGE day of basic tracks for the bands first full-length release. We were all burnt but we wanted to try to get one more song down. This idea had been tried a few times, but Roy hadn't come up with words yet... we started playing and out came the words. We added some percussion later on, more guitars much later and there you have it... Lyrics We are at the crack of time, for this day belongs neither to the old year... nor to the new. And as there is no distinction between the years, so is there no distinction between the worlds. The old year ends, the new year begins... the wheel turns and turns again... Goddess Summer draws to a close; God Winter sets his foot upon the path... Those we have known and loved in ages past are free to return to us here in this meeting place. Reach out each and every one of you in your own way, and feel the presence of ones you have known and thought lost... The old year ends the new year begins, the wheel turns and turns again... hail and farewell... From this reuniting gather strength, know all of you that there is no end... and no beginning. Goddess Summer draws to a close; God Winter sets his foot upon the path... Hail and farewell... Farewell to our Lady... welcome to our Lord...
