I hear the thunder from far away And the scents of summer are fading in the wind As the rain of November washes away my pain For some bright and cool winter days That year, the winter was kind like May But the vernal colors never blossomed again So we waited for summer, we waited in vain Till the sky forever turned to gray On these calm and warm and peaceful days We were in the eye of the storm As the seasons slowly disappeared We tried making sense of it all Now it doesn't rain anymore but acid galore The warnings were ignored, what for, what for? Here once a river, now dried to clay Where leas of flowers, to dust have decayed Watch the legacy of our Mother we have betrayed Now hot like a furnace are winter days On these calm and warm and peaceful day We were in the eye of the storm As the seasons slowly disappeared We tried making sense of it all Now it doesn't rain anymore but acid galore The warnings were ignored, what for, what for? We came together and climbed our way Then built a shelter high up in the mountain Where humanity's best endeavors once astray Now found in our bright and cool winter days On these bright and cool and fucked up day We're above the eye of the storm As the seasons only disappeared For those underneath of it all Seas are rising on the shores, too late to abhor The warnings were ignored, what for, what for?
