► 𝔇𝔬𝔬𝔪 𝔐𝔢𝔱𝔞𝔩 ◄ "12 Past Midnight" Fenix Bloodstone | Time Til' Dawn "12 Past Midnight" takes you inside a sacred healing ritual performed at the darkest hour of the night — that quiet moment when the veil between the living and the spirit world is at its thinnest. Drawing from ancient Celtic tradition and Wiccan ceremony, the song follows two voices — male and female — as they open the circle, call upon the elements of earth, air, fire, and sea, and work together to guide a grieving soul toward healing and release. The lyrics walk through every stage of the ritual — the raising of the athame, the burning of sage, the glow of the bloodstone — all of it steeped in the belief that love does not end at death and that nature itself holds the power to mend what has been broken. It is not a song about darkness for the sake of darkness. It is a song about finding light by walking straight through the grief rather than around it. At its heart "12 Past Midnight" is about love, loss, and the courage it takes to let go — guided by the old ways, the moon overhead, and the simple but powerful conviction that we do not walk through pain alone. The circle opens. The healing begins. And when it closes — something has changed. So mote it be. ══════════════════════════════ 12 Past Midnight [intro:] By earth and air! By flame and sea! The circle opens! So mote it be! Spirits gather! Shadows bend! The healing starts where pain shall end! ███ [verse:] Twelve past midnight! The veil grows thin! The candles fade! The rites begin! Athame raised! The air turns still! We carve the path by mortal will! ███ [pre-chorus:] Merry meet and merry part! Whisper softly! Heal the heart! An it harm none! This vow we keep! Blessed be the soul in sleep! ███ [chorus:] Turn the wheel beneath the moon! The old ways sing a sorrowed tune! Through grief we walk! Through flame we learn! The circle fades! But spirits return! Twelve past midnight! Love remains! In whispered wind and falling rain! ███ [verse:] Ash and sage! The incense swirls! The veil between the living unfurls! By bloodstone’s light and heart’s command! We reach across the shadowed land! No gods of hate! No fear! No chain! Just nature’s will! And love’s refrain! ███ [pre-chorus:] Merry meet and merry part! Bound in love though worlds apart! Harm none! In darkness bloom! Blessed be! Beyond the tomb! ███ [guitar solo:] ███ [bridge:] Mother moon! Guide the way! Through endless night to brighter day! By earth and air! By flame and sea! We heal the wound! We set souls free! The bloodstone burns! The athame gleams! The lost return through silvered dreams! ███ [verse:] Twelve past midnight! Shadows wane! The stars bear witness to the pain! The circle hums with memory’s fire! We raise our hands! The heart as pyre! Through sorrow’s depth! We find release! Through death we walk! And find our peace! ███ [outro:] Merry meet! And merry part! From my soul to yours! Heart to heart! Blessed be! Till next we stand! Hand in hand! Across the land! Twelve past midnight! The circle’s done! But love remains! In everyone! ███ [chant:] Blessed be! Harm none! Merry meet! Merry part! We are one! By moon and flame! By blood and sea! So mote it be! So mote it be! ══════════════════════════════ © 2025 Vicious Hymns Media — Fenix Bloodstone | Time Til' Dawn ══════════════════════════════more
