When the Lavender Returns

As cold as ice Wrapped round your brain And darkness unfolds You’re breathing in pain It’s been freezing here In this Land of Shattered Dreams It’s been freezing here This corrupted winter stings It’s been freezing here (Où est la Lavande?) Your body can’t stay warm (Où est la Lavande?) It’s been freezing here (Où est la Lavande?) This cruel and criminal storm (Où est la Lavande?) But don’t give up Don’t despair Taste the hope Floating through the air When the lavender returns It’ll warm your frozen bones Vivid violet clothes In their candy overtones When the lavender returns It’ll race across the land Rebel flower grows In the palm of your free hand If you look out your window The ground’s parched and bare If you call for your lover She’s no longer there If you ponder your life Well, it feels like a wreck And your failures are scars You can never forget As leaves turn brown Sky fades to grey You’re feeling the drought The end of the day It’s been lonely here In this World of Fallen Souls It’s been lonely here With nowhere left to go But don’t give up Don’t despair Taste the hope Floating through the air When the lavender returns It’ll warm your frozen bones Vivid violet clothes In their candy overtones When the lavender returns (Où est la Lavande?) It’ll race across the land (Où est la Lavande?) Rebel flower grows (Où est la Lavande?) In the palm of your free hand (Où est la Lavande?) When the lavender returns (Où est la Lavande?) It’ll warm your frozen bones (Où est la Lavande?) Vivid violet clothes (Où est la Lavande?) In their candy overtones (Où est la Lavande?)
