[Verse 1]

Summer to fall in the wind and the rain

Cast miles of black clouds lingering

Heavy hanging misery

Under cover of the night

Strangers shuffling side by side

Silhouettes in black and white

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep pushing the poison down

[Chorus]

Not a search and recovery mission

Got the bodies in front of me, nobody's missing

Let's find the right place, lay it to waste

Then scatter the ashes

Scatter the ashes in spring

When winter's over

[Verse 2]

Change of seasons, barely breathing

Holding out for one last reason

Think it will be different every time

Undercover of the night

Side by side two passersby

Waiting to be read last rites

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep pushing the poison down

[Chorus]

Not a search and recovery mission

Got the bodies in front of me, nobody's missing

Let's find the right place, lay it to waste

Then scatter the ashes

Scatter the ashes in spring

When winter's over

[Outro Chorus]

Not a search and recovery mission

Got the bodies in front of me, nobody's missing

Gotta find the right place, lay it to waste

Then scatter the ashes

Scatter the ashes in spring

Scatter the ashes in spring

When winter's over

Winters over
