Year of Harvest
Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope the end of the winter isn't too far
It's this chemistry that's forever pulling me
The feeling of wanting more than misery
Our hope is in each other
We must not stray from the path first chosen
As the light draws dim and the frost draws near
For it will clear
This is the path I've created
Hoping for the answers
Hoping that it's not been in vain
Finding a way through the winter
Waiting for the harvest
Waiting to be rid of the cold
Move child
Now is the time
We've waited for these roots grow
And waited for the sun to shine
Leave now
Gather all you can
All our life's work in one moment
Now stick to the plan
Stick to the plan
Year of the harvest
Hope of the lost
Year of the harvest
Hope of the lost
This is the path I've created
Hoping for the answers
Hoping that it's not been in vain
Finding a way through the winter
Waiting for the harvest
Waiting to be rid of the cold
Rid of the cold
It's starting over and I cannot bear to consume
Trying to figure a way to get through
This is the path I've created
Hoping for the answers
Hoping that it's not been in vain
Finding a way through the winter
Waiting for the harvest
Waiting to be rid of the cold
Rid of the cold
