Dead Winter Dead

Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head

"Breathe it in, breathe it in," isn't that what they said

As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires?

Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night

Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light

As the puppets hang upon their wires

[chorus]

I've lost my way, kneel down and pray

It all decays, it takes me down, down, down

Like the minister said, like the minister said

Where this all has led...dead winter dead

Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind

As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time

To read words from a past you can't remember?

Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for

If it made sense my friend well then not anymore

Every dream I'm told has its December

[chorus]

I've lost my way, kneel down and pray

It all decays, it takes me down, down, down

Like the minister said, like the minister said

Where this all has led...dead winter dead

[lead break]

[coda]
