When Everything is Green

With eyes on the sand and not out to sea

Each footprint a mark where you've never been

So strange in this place, where dread is true king

A fold in the world where everything's green

When everything's green

Serpents around spread shadowy doubt

They crawl through your veins, even rain from your mouth

When everything's green, when everything's green

The raindrops will come and all wrong is undone

When everything's green, when everything's green

The smoke settles in like a new skin of Spring

New air in your chest breathes long winter's death

In slim silver gowns and hand-to-heart pressed

The red-hearted queen, in awe of all things

Steps into the ring - when it's green, when it's green

When everything's green

Serpents around spread shadowy doubt

They crawl through your veins, even rain from your mouth

When everything's green, when everything's green

The raindrops will come and all wrong is undone

When everything's green, when everything's green

The smoke settles in like a new skin of Spring

Serpents around spread shadowy doubt

They crawl through your veins, even rain from your mouth

But the red-hearted queen, in awe of all things

Steps into the ring - when it's green, when it's green

When everything's green, when everything's green

The raindrops will come and all wrong is undone

When everything's green, when everything's green

The smoke settles in like a new skin of Spring

When everything's green, when everything's green

The smoke settles in like a new skin of Spring
