Do you really think it a coincidence
That the story that started it all
Involved Christmas ghosts?
Before Christmas, before Mithras, before Saturnalia
We saw the stars and marked them
With no mote than sticks and caves and fire
They could still count the days
Notch them and mark them
And celebrate and fear the darkest night
Before all Hallows eve
There was the Darkest Night
And the great unknown of those we only knew
In Song and Story
All the way back
To Mitochondrial Eve
We are all on family
One blood
One tiny world in an infinity of space trapped light
Reach out
And touch the cheek of those who came
And know you will join them soon enough
Eat Drink and Be Merry
For The Ghost of Christmas Future comes for all
And be remembered for what you have done
Not what might have been
Not what might have been
