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 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?

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 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?

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 days
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?
