I feel the spring coming on
The smell of earth waking
The vestiges of change
Our sky begins to grey
Life outside renews
But inside fills with haze
The cold had kept us still
And now comes restless pain
Longing for the winter
As the clouds roll in
Black foreboding front lines
Creep on the horizon
Wind begins the torrent
Snuffs the beacons out
Wandering in the dusk
The warmth will wake us up
But anxiety will remain
Singing songs of valor
As they tie ships down
Each man in stoic terror
Praying to the crown
Taste the salty air come smashing forth
Board the windows and withstand the storm
Raise your skinny arms and touch the past
Find what remains in the aftermath
