Bonfires! (Welcome In Another Year)

[@jesschristiansen2523]

Build up the bonfire! Now the seasons turn - Welcome in another year and let the old one burn! Build up the bonfire, light the candles bright All the hungry spirits will be coming by tonight Light the bonfire, another year has flown Gather friends around you, don’t spend the night alone, Sweep out the courtyard to greet the coming year Lay a handsome table; your visitors are here! Here come your sorrows, all your old regrets Every broken promise and every unpaid debt Perched on your shoulders, yearning towards the flame Pour them a glass of whisky and greet them all by name Now make them welcome, offer them release Offer them atonement and pray they may find peace Give them your blessing but do not let them stay, Beat on the cans and the pots and pans and send them on their way!
