lyrics

Icy talons of frost tear like claws right through the dark
They scrape upon our throats
Reaching down into our lungs
Endless winter please release your grasp on frozen seas
Months of darkness fade away and beckon in the thaw we crave

Finally we see the blackness become fractured by the sun’s first rays
The long night has taken its toll upon those who will not wake
But the day goes on now that the endless cold has withdrawn
Ice melts and gives way to fertile soil
Our lifeline until…

The winter returns to cast her shadows across the sun drenched earth
But until that time we must reap our harvest from the lands and herds
A place where seeds are sown
A place where our crops can flourish and grow
A place where children play
Indeed this truly is a place where hope remains

If you were to stand at the water’s edge of this vast new ocean
You might perceive that you were in paradise

Until we begin to see
The leaves wilt and storm floods wash what is left back into the ocean
The hunger is unbearable
Parents’ watch children die
As thirst goes unquenched for days and weeks and months that pass by
As skin peels off in the endless heat

Could this be our last day upon this earth?
Our swansong…

As brothers and sisters
Our mothers and fathers continue to fall
Leaving us behind

One by one
We will fall
