Iced Earth
Last December
[Verse 1]
The howling winds blow on this moonlit night
Eyes locked in fear with a dark embrace
Bitter cold winds freeze the tears that fall
Hands held in grace as we take the final step

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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, ye-ee-ah

[Chorus]
Last December
Mother, you have forced us here
Last December
Father, now we'll disappear
Last December
One last step, we fade away
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Last December
Mother, you have forced us here
Last December
Father, now we'll disappear
Last December
One last step, we fade away
