Lyrics[]
The long lost winter acceptance woes A lasting slumber a sickness flows The last of summer the longing rivers froze A grasping hunger as darkness grows Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream The frost of winter, acceptance shows A grasping hunger as fever grows At last the summer the longing rivers flow The lasting thunder, as darkness grows Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream Feeling so alive in this hopeless dream
