December Boys

[Verse 1]
December falls in silver threads,
Cold on helmets, white on heads.
We sit like carvings in the snow,
Watching lights where warm homes glow.

[Verse 2]
Far away the children sing,
Mothers set the humble things.
Their tables bright with borrowed cheer,
Because we keep their darkness clear.

[Chorus]
We are the Desember Boys, we hold the line,
While bells ring far and candles shine.
Snow will cover footprints of the night,
But we will stand — we’ll hold the fight.

[Verse 3]
Trenches hum with whispered names,
Maps of fear and frozen flames.
We know the hour, we know their try,
Their boots will hit the frozen sky — and die.

[Chorus]
We are the Desember Boys, we hold the line,
While bells ring far and candles shine.
Snow will cover footprints of the night,
But we will stand — we’ll hold the fight.

[Bridge]
No one knows the morrow’s face,
Only this cold and this place.
Yet hope is stitched in every glove —
We fight for home, we fight for love.

[Verse 4]
When dawn breaks gold on ruined streets,
And laughter fills the distant heats,
Remember hands that kept the light —
The Desember Boys who held the night.

[Chorus]
We are the Desember Boys, we held the line,
While bells rang near and candles shined.
Snow covered footprints of the night,
But we stood strong — and kept the light.
