Lyrics:

Swing through sadness, 
Tears of joy 
Curse the sunlight
Arsenic for the girls and boys
Drink the madness, 
Smoke so coy. 
Smile injection. 

Serum of a will destroyed. Serum of a will, Serum of a will destroyed!

The seasons change, change without me.
I remain,
In shadows growing wings 
The spirit song, 
Still surrounds me, 
In refrain, 
In shadows growing wings

Swing through sadness, 
Tears of joy 
Curse the sunlight
Arsenic for the girls and boys
Drink the madness, 
Smoke so coy. 
Smile injection. 

Serum of a will destroyed. Serum of a will, Serum of a will destroyed!

The seasons change, change without me.
I remain,
In shadows growing wings 
The spirit song, 
Still surrounds me, 
In refrain, 
In shadows growing wings

Like an angel 
With two broken wings, 
Reach the sky again. 
Like a devil, 
Meant for better things, 
I will find
My place on 
High

The seasons change, change without me.
I remain,
In shadows growing wings 
The spirit song, 
Still surrounds me, 
In refrain, 
In shadows growing wings
