My Spring Your Fall

(Death is in you)

Both awake, but we're different, you and I

We have got what it takes to stay alive

But you lose yourself in the trivialities

Lose yourself and forget reality

There's no end to your mortal vanity

You say progress, I say insanity

"Life for life", you keep cutting down my trees

One, two, three, I keep counting as you breathe

Flame and steel, I have seen it all, and

When you cut us, we keep on sprawling

Roots go deep, can you hear death calling?

You cling to wealth and power

But forget about the past

Don't worry about the future

Because nothing here will last

Your empires are ending

And the thorns will take you all

It's time to put the seasons in reverse

My spring, your fall

My children, spread into the world

My garden, longing to unfurl

But we can wait, we're eternally in bloom

Pride and hate will bring you to your doom

Break the bones, tear the flesh as we coil

Spill the blood and cultivate the soil

A new world rises, growing through the stone

No more kings, we're bringing down the thrones

Flame and steel, I have seen it all, and

When you cut us, we keep on sprawling

Roots go deep, can you hear death calling?

You cling to wealth and power

But forget about the past

Don't worry about the future

Because nothing here will last

Your empires are ending

And the thorns will take you all

It's time to put the seasons in reverse

My spring, your fall

You cling to wealth and power

But forget about the past

Don't worry about the future

Because nothing here will last

Survival of the fittest

You haven't changed at all

It's time to put the seasons in reverse

My spring, your fall

My spring (my spring, my spring)

Your fall
