The bells will ring    Church steeple's catching fire    And if you promise spring    Then I know you are a liar       'Cause in the spring    Tender grasses won't burn easily    The thrushes sing    Still my lover won't return to me       Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs    While thistles will burn my feet    And if you join our chorus    You'll never fear anymore       So here it comes, just the chorus    We will meet on a fatal shore       Souverian    Souverian    The elder       Souverian    Souverian    The free       Souverian    Souverian    The felled heart       So very young    So very young    Were we       Birds were singing    Still my lover won't return to me    You promise spring    Still my lover won't return to me       Wild parsnips scar my lungs    And the thistles are burning my feet       So here it comes, the chorus    You will never fear anymore    If you join our chorus    We will meet on a fatal shore       Under the elders    the older get younger    the younger get over    over the elders    and under the elders    pretend that you're older now       Under the elders    the older get younger    the younger get older    over the elders    under the elders    bending the branches down       We were so very young    Still my lover won't return to me    Thrushes sing    Still my lover won't return to me    Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs    While thistles still burn my feet
