Seasons of My Heart Lyrics
Was marching barefoot through the snow
Heading for where I didn’t know
Left my home burning down the lane
Was too cold to worry about the pain
Or the bitter hard solid rain
Or the screams driving me insane

Bloody footprints in the snow
Left by ghost scarecrows
My soul is burning can’t you tell?
It’s another season in Hell

Not caring if I lived or died
Forgetting how to laugh or cry
Shadows floating above their heads
Who really sees the walking dead?
My sky was black but theirs was blue
Maybe one day He’ll forgive you

Long dark roads on pure white snow
But why don’t, why don’t you know?
My soul is burning can’t you tell?
It’s another season in Hell

Was walking the Way of Sorrows
That led me to lost tomorrows
Down paths through waste lands of time
Dead-end-roads with twisted crossed signs
Saviours turned dumb their eyes so blind
Nightmare scenes that still haunt my mind

Hair and skin turned white as snow
The black wind still blows
My soul is burning can’t you tell?
It’s another season in Hell

Was climbing the Hill of Shadows
Up there built my own tall gallows
Hung my heart there for all to see
Felt black eyed vultures eating me
I told the truth you know it’s true
Beneath the sun there’s nothing new

Roses bleeding in the snow
Cannot ever grow
My soul is burning can’t you tell?
It’s another season in Hell

I recall the faces
And all the places
That time cannot erase
I can still taste the smells
From my mind in Hell
That haunt me to this day
I will try to forgive
As long as I live
For it’s the only way
I will try to forgive
As long as I live
For it’s the only way
For it’s the only way

I recall the faces
And all the places
That time cannot erase
I can still taste the smells
From my mind in Hell
That haunt me to this day
I will try to forgive
As long as I live
For it’s the only way
It’s the only way
It’s the only way

Seasons of my heart
Seasons of my heart
