U jednom selu crkvica je pogođena granatom. Nad crkvicom je vladala pustoš, nije bilo nikoga, ranjena je i treba je popraviti. Zvijezda Večernjica i stric Mjesec pozvali su šumske životinjice da pomognu obnoviti razrušenu crkvicu. Svi su došli. Načinili su ljestve i noseći kamen po kamen zazidali onu strašnu rupu. Mjesec je želio da radove završe do Božića. Životinjice nisu znale što je Božić, pa im je Večernjica predložila odmor i ispričala im što je Božić. Dok je ona pričala pojavio se borić. Ponudio se da ga unesu u crkvicu i ukrase. Vjeverice su donijele češere i žireve. Netko šapom, netko repom svi su čistili pod. I zvono je bilo potrgano. Večernjica je zamolila da probude medvjeda iz zimskog sna, da im pomogne podići zvono. On je pričvrstio zvono i otišao dalje spavati zimski san. Kad je osvanuo Badnjak sve je bilo gotovo. Svi stanovnici koji su morali otići zbog rata vratili su se u selo. Zvono je zvonilo na polnoćku. Lepršao je snijeg. Životinjice su ponosno promatrale ljude koji su išli u crkvicu. Bile su sretne što su pomogle slavlju. Crkvica je blistala kao dragi kamen. Večernjica je svima poželjela sretan Božić.
See the light and feel my warm desire, run
through my veins like the evening sun. It
will live but no eyes will see it. I'll bless your
name before I die. No person in everything can
shine, yet shine you did, for the world to see.
All a man hath will he give for life? For life
that's lost bleeds all over me. I'd fallen before
but it never hurt like this. Don't leave me here
to crawl through the mire. I'm without fault
before the throne of god. Take from me the
crown of sympathy. What do you think you'll
see? What do you think there will be? Sit down!
Did you see the sun? What will we become?
Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak his
name, behold them, raised, complete and fine.
The battle for our lives is oh, so brief. Take my
hand and please walk with me. When I was
young the sun did burn my face. I let its love
and warmth wash over me. The melting voice of
many, in the hush of night. Whispering tongues
can poison my honest truth. Come dress me
with your body, and comfort me. I dreamt of a
dead child in my sleep. I wear a terrible
mark in my head. my clean, white bed. It calls
to me. I must lie down. and I want you to lay
with me, in sympathy. No sad "adieus" on a
balcony. For one last time, just walk with me.
At the beautiful gate of the temple, we must
be saved. For deadened, icy pain, covers all the
earth.

Down In A Hole
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb...in bloom
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, losin' control
I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, losin' control
I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied
Oh I want to be inside of you
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, out of control
