lyrics

winter is past
rains over and gone
songbirds still singing
in a fallen world

flowers dilate
new bodies form
songbirds still singing
in the scrapyard

sun burns a hole
unearthly eye
songbirds still singing
in scaffolds of fire

delivered at last
scarecrow sighs
take me in your arms
sparks could still rise

heart of rags
doused in kerosene
burning clean
burning clean

the chapel is cold
shadows dancing close
masquerade ball
sweat and starlight and strobe

bells lacerate
the desolate dawn
songbirds still singing
can we ever go home

winter is past
rains over and gone
songbirds still singing
in a fallen world

heart of rags
doused in kerosene
burning clean
burning clean
