Lyrics
Bitter Season ï£c 2005 John Tully / Dick Langford
Love lost and hearts grow weak
Lives tossed, take the chaff from the wheat
Hopes fade as the bodies break
Truth grays, it's the game that we play
In this bitter season - dreams wither on the vine
Bitter season - There's fire in the sky
Bitter season - We got to find a better reason to die
Hatred, I hear it all around
Hatred, I hate that bloody sound
Bones crack and the blood will run
Scewed facts always equal the sum
Sweet lies whispered by the crass
Soft flesh ripped by shattered glass
In this bitter season - God's not on any side
Bitter season - the devil's on the rise
Bitter season - we've got to find a better reason to die
Tears fall but the land is parched
Men crawl while the armies march
Don't try 'cos you can't pretend
There is something left that we can defend
In this bitter season - pity souls that cry
Bitter season - let history decide
Bitter season - we've got to find a better reason to die
