LYRICS
It’s been reported
Daylight is getting shorter
Sunshine aborted
The year’s final quarter
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again
Sun’s been thwarted
By the Earth’s axis
Going wholehearted
Into the depths of Christmas
Then, a new year will begin
The days growing longer, again

ABOUT THE SONG
The winter solstice, hiemal solstice or hibernal solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. The winter solstice was immensely important because the people were economically dependent on monitoring the progress of the seasons. Starvation was common during the first months of the winter, January to April, also known as “the famine months”. The majority of wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking at this time. The concentration of the observances were not always on the day commencing at midnight or at dawn, but at the beginning of the pagan day, which in many cultures fell on the previous eve. — Wikipedia
