Red Blooms

Album: Carried to Dust (2008)

  • When the fists of winter fly, driving bones into the snow
    Blackened frostbitten nights, vodka running dry
    The statues cloaked in white and migrants from museums
    Losing all the feeling now that sunrise is outlawed

    Strangers plant themselves down in the cold hard ground
    Later when the harvest thaws snow drops will be in bloom

    Crossed out on city maps, Prospekt Mira reveals
    Shadows drinking antifreeze 'neath the underpass
    Ordered once a Gulag's march, now cities send the call
    Falling from the rooftops fast and frozen against the wall

    Where strangers plant themselves, dead souls of the underground
    When February thaws snow drops will be in bloom again
    Bloom again, bloom again, bloom again, bloom again
    Red blooms, red blooms
