Harakiri For The Sky - Once Upon A Winter lyrics

To become spring, accept the risk of winter To become presence, accept the risk of absence We are lost in this city, where we shouldn't be at all Where we searched for flowers, and found nothing but snow It's this city of tears That has gone into mourning Still beating with my heart But with undercurrent of woe I belong to the mountains And always did so I belong to the mountains And always will do They were my first love Where they end, I begin Bury me deep inside their womb The only place I ever felt home 'Cause home is not just the place where I was born Also, the place where I want to get buried The place beyond the pines where distance has no meaning Where we still sing those old songs that remind us of our fall We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar And an urge for the foreign and strange We are tied to bridges that cave in or burn Sometimes we are homesick most for places we have never known If only the sea was merciful Wash me away to the silencing shores If only the sea was merciful As merciful as a morning in winter My dear, you can cut all the flowers But you can't keep spring from rising It's strange why autumn is so beautiful Yet everything starves, everything dies ...Everything dies... 'Cause home is not just the place where I was born Also, the place where I want to get buried The place beyond the pines where distance has no meaning Where we still sing those old songs that remind us of our fall 'Cause though I'm often in the depths of misery There's still calmness, there's still music inside me Just wish Decembers would wipe memories away Like they mercilessly wiped away the last years If only the sea was merciful Wash me away to the silencing shores If only the sea was merciful As merciful as a morning in winter
