[hometext] => I think everyone has their own place to go when life is unfair, whether they retreat to a place or within their mind. This one didn't fit into any particular category, as far as I could tell.
[bodytext] => Summer's green leaves say goodbye Autumn's winds mournfully cry. Winter's cold ends And spring's life comes; Never let yourself forget I remember how the river runs. Water freezes into ice Deathly grip of a vise. Fire leaping ever higher And there are no signs of stopping; Never let yourself forget That I am always watching. And escape to your imaginary refuge The place in your mind that escapes the ruse Of the world's own condemned So many there's no more angels to send. Never let yourself forget More than one thinks it's the end. But summer's leaves come by and by, Autumn's winds cease to cry. Winter's cold warms to spring, And spring is what winter will bring. Never let yourself forget More than one will start to sing. Then ice melts into water And cold grip gets hotter. Fire dies to ember, So much you can't remember. Never let yourself forget That peace was once dismembered. And return from your imaginary refuge Say farewell until the world resumes It's own making of damnation Though the angels will still strive to revive every nation. Never let yourself forget This so oft infringed relation.
