Nighttime walks heavily, ‘round hearth and cottage On earth that sun forgot, shadows are falling Our dim house then grows bright, lit by the Queen of Light Ah, St. Lucia, ah, St. Lucia Though night is vast and still, you'll hear her singing In all the silent rooms, rustling and winging Clad in her garment white, wearing a crown of light, Ah, St. Lucia, ah, St. Lucia Cold are the people, winter of life We tremble in shadows this cold, endless night Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping; Flowers that will echo the sunrise Fire of hope is our only warmth, Weary its flame will be dying soon Voice in the distance, call in the night: On wind you enfold us you speak of the light Gentle on the ear you whisper softly; Rumours of a dawn so embracing, Breathless love awaits darkened souls, Soon will we know of the morning. (Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright 'Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child Holy infant, so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, wondrous star, lend thy light; with the angels let us sing, Alleluia to our King; Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born.) (Peace, peace, peace on Earth, and goodwill toward all This is our time for love This is our time for joy Now let us all sing together For peace, peace, peace on Earth) Darkness will soon take flight, hope be abiding These words she speaks to us, wonderful tidings Daylight shall come again, rosily risen Ah, St. Lucia, ah, St. Lucia, Sankta Lucia, Santa Lucia!

I was heaven sent Traded for the words I swore that Every piece of me would still belong Forever and a day To someone who created Whatever there may be, 'Ever there may be You came along Now I'm going all against the Promises that I made, and here I am Falling for your love Or am I lost in heaven I don't know any more Don't know any more +Judgement will be made On a Christmas day Hiding in the snow, he's prying me "Toys if you've been good Knives if you have not" Better steal a kiss 'fore I'll be gone I'll be gone +REPEAT

Gloria 01:18
Gloria, gloria, gloria en las alturas a Dios, y en la tierra paz para aquellos que aman el Señor.
