Here between the mountains and the clouds 
I am free
Here, my feet unfettered from the ground
Nothing wanting
Wanting nothing 
Release my mind 
Are there any embers left 
Alive?
Above the frozen seas 
Isolation makes it all so easy
Nothing wanting 
Wanting nothing 
Release the fire
Stoke the embers of my mind 

There you are 
My old and only friend 
Dancing in the flames 
Forgetting yesterday 
Here, inside the flicker of today
Time is ripe 
We’re always right 
We’re always right 

But time is not a line of candles
Lit in loving memory 
It is a wildfire 
Consuming everything that breathes 
Here, before this wall of flames 
Past and present 
Burning, endless 
No one is safe
No one is sane 

Oh put it out 
Or get me out of here 
Please show me the way 
Tell me what will set me free 
Or let it burn and dance with me

My old and only friend 
Let it burn and 
Dance with me

Lyrics:
White roses on a windowsill
Petals soft as lips that kiss their sleeping daughter
A gift
Until the stems rot and smell
The petals fell
One by one

It’s not that love doesn’t last forever
Just that it’s never ours to keep
We are stronger than we think
To keep choosing to sink beneath the weight

A bottle of champagne 
Bubbles light as laughter poured for free 
Know no pain
Until there’s not enough to go around
Too much spilled upon the ground 

It’s not that love doesn’t last forever
Just that it’s never ours to keep
We are stronger than we think
To keep choosing to sink beneath the weight
Of loves lost
And hearts crossed
Hope to die
I won’t lie
I wonder how I’m still alive
When only the strong survive
There are times I wished I’d never loved at all

But even if it loses air like a balloon
At least it flew
And I wouldn’t choose 
I wouldn’t choose
Not to have loved you
Not to have loved you

Roses, roses
Love is like
Roses, roses
Love is like
Roses, roses
Love is like
Roses, roses
Love is like
Love is like a red, red rose
Petals falling one by one

I wouldn’t choose
I wouldn’t choose 
Not to have loved you
Not to have loved you
Even if it loses air like a balloon
At least it flew
I wouldn’t choose
I wouldn’t choose
Not to have loved you

Lyrics:
All hail All Hallows Eve
Hallowed be thy name
Through the cold and unfeeling winter
Spirits, keep us sane

All hale All Hallows Eve
The veil is growing thin
Between the beasts of dreams and daylight
Let the demons in

All hail All Hallows Eve
Venerate your dead
All the witches, sinners — saints and martyrs
Blood unduly shed

All hail All Hallows Eve
Oh troubled children and abominations
Every fallen daughter and wayward son
This is your celebration

All hail All Hallows Eve
The veil is growing thin
Between the present and eternal
All are one within

All hail All Hallows Eve
Hallowed be thy name
Through the cold and unfeeling winter
Spirits, keep us sane
Let the demons in
All are one within

All Hallows' Eve - Original Song by Ira Wild

Lyrics by Ira Sullivan

Lyrics:

Oh come, oh come ye wandering child 
All ye cursed and exiled 
The evils that they speak of aren’t in you 
We are the guardians of love and truth 
Rejoice, rejoice, Oh wandering child 
Do not repent. Be free and wild.

Oh come, oh come ye children of the Earth
And celebrate the death and rebirth 
Of sun and moon and everything that lives
Oh thank the Earth for everything she gives  
Rejoice, rejoice, oh children of the earth 
Remember every death brings a new birth 

Oh come, oh come all ye who toil and strive 
Oh sleep that ye may live, not just survive 
The sabbath rest of winter is your right 
Oh sacred shortest day, oh longest night 
Rejoice, rejoice, all ye who toil and strive 
And sleep that ye may live not just survive 

Oh come, oh come ye ancient, magic soul 
Take up thy parts and wield again the whole 
Of humankind, in avarice undone 
Remember now, in birth we all were one 
Rejoice, rejoice oh ancient, magic soul 
Take up thy broken parts and wield the whole
Rejoice, rejoice, all ye who toil and strive
Rejoice, rejoice, oh children of the earth 
Rejoice, rejoice, Oh wandering child 
Do not repent. Be free and wild.

Oh Come Ye Wandering Child-- Reimagined by Ira Wild

Lyrics:

Oh, holy night 
The stars are brightly shining 
It is the night when we all stop our work 
Long lay the world in sweat and toil pining 
Every year 
And we think that’s all we’re worth 

But for tonight, the weary world rejoices
Remembering what all that work was for
Wherever we may be, let us raise our voices 
And thank the earth
For everything that she has born 
And thank each other 
For all the times we’re kind 

The earth, she taught us to love one another
Her law is love and her gospel is peace 
Erase every border, everyone’s our brother
Let us be kind without motive or caprice 
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us love and feel no shame

The light in me sees the light in you 
In all your glory, I call you by your name
In all our glory, we are all the same

Lyrics by Ira Wild

Mara, did you know that the fallen leaves
Make the fertile soil
Mara, did you know that the harvest
Is the fruit of sweat and toil
Did you know that every death
Gives birth to something new
And everything you bury
Will soon be born anew

Mara, did you know that god lives in you
Like she lives in everything 
Mara, did you know that there’s magic
In every song you sing
Did you know that every soul
Comes from the same womb
And the ones who came before us
Were reborn in me and you

The poor will thrive, the sick will rise
The lonely will find friends 
The grieved will sing, the weary will dance
If we reach out our hands

Mara, did you know that each one of us
Has the power of creation
Mara, did you know when we live as one
There will be peace in every nation 
Did you know that a single voice
Can move the mountains and the sea
And when we raise them all together
The whole world will be free

Mara, did you know…
