Ashes in Winter-Emergence

Somewhere an infant cries / her parents do not stir Resting under leaden skies / i wonder who they were The stolid minions come / They do as they were told The streets are growing still / The flesh is growing cold Another wretched day / Followed by sleepless night I don't care what you say / You knew it wasn't right Now all I know is winter Without the scent of spring Today is filled with sorrow What will tomorrow bring Do you remember winter When ashes fell like snow Now all I know is winter Where did the summer go The angry ones return / Like children sick with fear So young but they will learn / The end is drawing near The annex seems to shrink / The days blur into one The sweat-soaked linens stink / I long to see the sun Another wretched day / Followed by sleepless night I don't care what you say / You knew it wasn't right
