The summer has ended
Quietly surrendered
Laying its weapons
On the ground 'round her feet
The chimes, they are calling
The leaves, they are falling
To cover this land
With their innocent lives
La la la la, wading in deeper
La la la la, up to her knees
Two hands that are white
Can't put up a fight
Bereft of all strength
And the flames in her eyes
The infant, the damage
The plunder, the pillage
Her ruins of smoke
This river can't choke
x2
La la la la, wading in deeper
La la la la, up to her waist
The fall is a-coming
Closer each morning
It snarls at her heels
And breathes down her neck
A raven is calling
Promethean warning
The ties to her arms
And her legs pull her down
x3
La la la la, wading in deeper
La la la la, over her head
