Groza - Daffodils

THE DAY THE DAFFODILS WERE IN BLOOM
WINTER CAME OVER MY HEART
REGARDLESS OF THE SUN REIGNED GLOOM
AS A FREEZE WAS PUT UPON MY HEART

THE DARKEST STORM CAME OVER MY FIRMAMENT
AND COLORED MY ENTIRE WORLD BLACK
AND A DELUGE CAME DOWN FROM WEEPING SKIES
SWEPT ME AWAY WITH THE RUTHLESS TIDES

WE STILL SING ABOUT THE TIME
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND FREE
ADORING SUMMERS TOO FAR GONE
WHILE EVERY BEAUTY GROWS ITS FANGS
YOUTH ALWAYS BLENDED WITH GRIEF
THAT SOON TURNED INTO A ROMANCE
A HANDFUL OF SCARS SURPRISINGLY PAINFUL
BUT YET LEADING TOWARD SPRING

WITH EVERY GLEAM OF LIGHT
THAT BROKE HOPE THROUGH THE SKIES
WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE THROUGH IT ALL
BUT ONLY NOW I KNOW THAT IN THE END
IT WAS JUST THE EYE OF THE STORM

I DESPERATELY WAIT FOR THE DAY
WHERE I WON'T SEE THE MORNING SUN
WHERE MY EYES KEEP CLOSELY SHUT
EVEN THOUGH A NEW DAY HAS BEGUN
WHERE I DON'T CARE FOR ALL THAT'S LEFT
WHERE I DON'T CARE FOR ANYTHING
WHEN I TRANSCEND PER ASPERA AD ASTRA

AB ASTRIS AD ASPERA
PER ASPERA AD ASTRA

THROUGH THE STREETS WITH AIR OF POISON
THROUGH REMAINS OF ANCIENT FORESTS
THROUGH THE OCEANS OF P**S AND S**T
AND THROUGH THE NEVER-ENDING FRONTLINES
OVER MOUNTAINS OF NOTHINGNESS
ALONG THE AVENUES LINED WITH GALLOWS
ALONG THE EVERLASTING CYCLE

AD NAUSEAM
