about

A reinterpretation of a song by Death in June.
Those that follow them will know.
But I wanted to make it into something more positive. As in a previous project, DIJ took the music of The People's Temple Choir, and made his own "cynical" versions of them... I wanted to do the opposite to one of his songs.

lyrics

Found light within my heart....
To illuminate the dark.
There's a tenderness I know....
This tenderness I grow.

Found opportunity,
To search for time and bounty.
In this my chrysalis,
Take stock of what's amiss.

In all four seasons,
And their marathon....
And with some hesitation,
I found the strength to carry on.

From fallen grace to dignity,
I thank the ones who rescued me.
Found opportunity,
To search for time and bounty.
In this my chrysalis,
Take stock of what's amiss.

In all four seasons,
And their marathon....
And with some hesitation,
I found the strength to carry on....
