Lyrics

Spring Buds

On the last naked day of winter

On the eve of a fateful thaw

I was imprisoned in frozen pieces

Of heart-broken laws

Then down fell an angel renegade

Her halo read "Morning Star"

Wounded by the doom of a comet tail

She was sealed with a scar

Then a sweet lightning struck

And the earth opened us

Like spring buds

Why she ever fled heaven

And why I would hibernate

Answers why we would meet here

To equal our altered states

Then a sweet lightning struck

And the earth opened us

Like spring buds

With a sacred heart-shared rhythm

We blossom through the spring

Star of the Morning shines now

On her own two wings

Then a sweet lightning struck

And the earth opened us

Like spring buds

Then a sweet lightning struck

And the earth opened us

Like spring buds
