lyrics

A time has come when the season turns
And the leaves, they get too heavy
A moment of new precedent
A charlatan's unmasking
And though they fall it'd hasten them
If someone would just shake it
The comfort in the fallen leaves
And a barren tree forsaken

Though your limbs spread far and wide
They leave a false impression
You only speak of gentle shade
But not of fierce transgression
That placing shackles on the poor
A weakness not to pardon
Your shadow cast will leave to pass
A desolated garden

Go ahead and string me up
From one of your big branches
Unlike Spring, I'm not the kind
To favor second chances
You lied, you stole, you compromised
You killed and confiscated
The robbers crown will crush your brow
And the power associated
