lyrics

Ocean stopped its motion
Silent death bed
Dismembered and slandered
A white whale

Ice caps are melting
Mountains disappear
The heat sucks from the airlocks
A growing fear

The season of the rain
Will wash away the pain

Ancestors dreaming
Heavens from below
No healer, no believer
Cells end slow

Someone blamed the violence
Someone blamed the gods
Time waits for no one
In the line at the slaughterhouse

The season of the rain
Will wash away the pain

Have i trashed this garden long enough?
Rip it to pieces
Fire with no fire
Until we’re dried out
Too late, it’s too late
And now we must go
Only a lover, only a child
Breaks it and saves it
Only a mother
Carries out the weight
Of our burden state

Don’t sell your dreams away
Don’t spill your anger
As contender

Don’t kill your mind a slave
And picture yourself
As collider

The spill of the oil,
The poison of the soil
And the life void

Will break down all your schemes
Will torment from within
Will make you feel pain

Only a lover
Only a child
Breaks it and saves it
Only mother
Only mother
Rides it
And confides in it
