Spring / Sun / Winter / Dread Lyrics

Their hands loom heavy with only an hour to go
I hold my breath but the seekers will find me
Priest and pauper, the leper can't change his spots
The king knows and I know it, and everybody knows

Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way)

Are those my people or are they barbarians all?
I need a shoulder to talk to about it
Swing the hammer (the hammer)
The fragments (the fragments)
A skull exploding on you, on you all (on you all)
And showers on the infant's bed

Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread
I don't want to get older
(No way, no way)

You are a thief and a murderer too
Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again

I know that you are a thief and a murderer too
You stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again

You are a thief and a murderer too
Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again

And I know that you are a thief and a murderer too
You stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again

I know you are a thief and a murderer too
Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again

And I know that you are a thief and a murderer too
You stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon
'Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him
And you did it before and you'll do it again
