Last December Lyrics - Burnt Offerings - Iced Earth

The howling winds blow 

On this moonlit night 

Eyes locked in fear 

With a dark embrace 

The bitter cold winds 

Freeze the tears that fall 

Hands held in grace 

As we take the final step 

Obsessed with our love 

Here is our fate 

To need the final call 

On this special winter day 

A message to our elders 

They surely won't forget 

Our love must last forever 

In death we shall not part 

It seems like only yesterday 

Our lives together planned 

They say it's just a passing phase 

We're damned by our youth 

Why does no one understand 

What we have is real 

This is not your average love it's forever 

Last December 

Mother you have forced us here 

Last December 

Father now we'll disappear 

Last December 

One last step we fade away 

So we take the final step 

Heed the final call 

Together we are strong 

Divided we must fall 

Teenage suicide 

Our only way out 

Together we might live 

Divided we must fall 

Last December 

Mother you have forced us here 

Last December 

Father now we'll disappear 

Last December 

One last step we fade away
