Guillermo Veloso - Winter Becomes Spring Becomes Summer lyrics

The fruit of summer's pa**ion has ripened Withered on the vine Fallen to the ground Awaits The benediction of the leaf The white shroud of winter Alabaster tomb Icy and sure Soon to give resurrection to bones Ivory and worn Bent to the will of a memory Cast in richer times Now in the melting trickles Ephemeral threads give rise to the bursting flowers Bees descend in hordes to deflower the virgins of spring Hot tongues to split the forge We awake and beg our task To see the face of god or feel our lover's touch? Then, we shall set fire to This summer cauldron Boil this witches brew; Love (Yes it is spoken.) Or shall we flinch and fear the Consuming flame. Sparks are faeries that tease Rise up upon the spirit of the wood Our courtship of trees is carried on the wings of bu*terflies and bees
