Story Behind the Song
A christmasy tune but one that delves into the more pagan side of christmas. Inspired by the Vrigin novel, Christmas on a Rational Planet.
Lyrics
'I remember when I sang along, through the years live on in song,
loved to believe, the jolly red man, who come's to spread joy while I sleep,
smiles for the spruce tree, that change when it becomes never-green,
just twelve day's and all seems hazy, empty, slowly, waiting to begin again,
it's the way everybody can forget the troubles they've had, confrontations been set,
like a reward for lasting to the end with reflection and wounds to mend,
to share and be there, the watchers flood through the life,
but who was it that created Christmas on a rational planet,
time for prayer but the symbols are mystic in style,
it's like being enclosed safe from the mists and the horrors they hide,
though where's the sense in the greedy, who feel no shame for the needy,
is it light and dark spirits that fill us and move us along,'
