  • The bells will ring
    Church steeple's catching fire
    And if you promise spring
    Then I know you are a liar

    Cause in the spring
    Tender grasses won't burn easily
    The thrushes sing
    Still my lover won't return to me

    Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs
    While thistles will burn my feet
    And if you join our chorus
    You'll never fear anymore

    So here it comes, just the chorus
    We will meet on a fatal shore

    Souverian
    Souverian
    The elder

    Souverian
    Souverian
    The free

    Souverian
    Souverian
    The felled heart

    So very young
    So very young
    Were we

    Birds were singing
    Still my lover won't return to me
    You promise spring
    Still my lover won't return to me

    Wild parsnips scar my lungs
    And the thistles are burning my feet

    So here it comes, the chorus
    You will never fear anymore
    If you join our chorus
    We will meet on a fatal shore

    Under the elders
    the older get younger
    the younger get over
    over the elders
    and under the elders
    pretend that you're older now

    Under the elders
    the older get younger
    the younger get older
    over the elders
    under the elders
    bending the branches down

    We were so very young
    Still my lover won't return to me
    Thrushes sing
    Still my lover won't return to me
    Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs
    While thistles still burn my feet Writer/s: Andrew Wegman Bird
