Lyric snippet of the month from David Olney's "Revolution":
Winter came to claim her throne
She turned the heart of Earth to stone
Not one of us dared raise his voice against her
Winter's reign was long and cruel
But we grew hard each day she ruled
Each frozen night seemed to last forever
She grew barren in her ancient age
And bitter in her twisted rage
Too blind to see the seeds of revolution
Underground the rebels schemed
In secret all our children dreamed
Patiently we waited for our moment
When at last the time was right
We rose up from the dead of night
And with the light of day we defied her
Her screaming voice howled and cracked
But nothing now could turn us back
And with the Spring Winter was defeated
Free at last the Earth rejoiced
Everywhere we heard the voice
Of Freedom ringing out across the land
