Lyrics:
VERSE1:
Midnight moon howling
A silent wind blows
Eyes pierce the darkness
Hear the tree sap flow
Snow stands in splendor
Icy river flows
A splash of red rises
Roses in the snow
CHORUS:
And never doubt the order
Never shout your fears
Forgive the cruel and heartless
Gain wisdom in your years
Never cry for the living
Their breath is grief enough
Forget about the mindless
Just fill your case with love
VERSE2:
Old trees rot dreaming
No one ever cares
Touch the bark of life
In used rocking chairs
Water stands brownish
Ashy bones on edge
A splash of white rises
Roses in the hedge
BRIDGE:
And hold onto ol’ father time
Break his arms and legs
Stop the growing phobia
Of unseen powder kegs
Destroy all rememberings
Don’t let one be spared
Stand fast you hallowed faithful
‘Lest you be running scared
VERSE3:
Hazy sun crying
Gasping a last breath
All the green is gone
Done been laid to rest
Dirty lumps of clay
Dead zombies in rust
Splash of yellow rises
Roses in the dust
CHORUS:
And never doubt the order
Never shout your fears
Forgive the cruel and heartless
Gain wisdom in your years
Never cry for the living
Their breath is grief enough
Forget about the mindless
Just fill your case with love
