Before the Fall

Once upon a time a violet opened up for spring Only to encounter violence like she'd never seen Now her joyful hum echoes through trees That used to grow where they've paved in the street Once upon a time a songbird flew away for good Every melody went unheard in a concrete world Now her joyful hum echoes through trees That used to grow where they've paved in the street After an autumn of ends led to silence Winters cloak covered the tracks of the tyrants Spring couldn't bring on the promise of June With no voice to sing and nothing to bloom
