The snow on your eyelids that curtsy with age
A freezing rare stare on tyranny's wings
The bitterness, hardness, warmth of your skin
Is diseased with familiar caresses 

Withdrawing from splendor, withdraw from decay
Among all the triumphs and jaded wars
The angry and blazing circus of sound
Recede as the crown prince arises 

Primroses are the jewels that lurk
From masks of pleasure that flicker with doubt
And dresses a fame (of pain?) that silently fear
Advance and demand to be recognized 

Winter Song
Winter Song 

The river shall flow through hollow green faces
Of cotton resentment, drawn out of the tongue
You cannot beget all the sins that you hope
To people a paradise magic 

Winter Song
Winter Song
Winter Song
Winter Snow 

You'll worship and cling to the dark of your heart
You lie there in wait with your angels
To moan and ravage from dawn until dusk
The avaricious young lovers 

Winter Song
Winter Song
Winter Song
Winter Song
