    General CommentWhen I only knew that the titel meant spring time, I thought it was ironic because the song is very dark. But then I got the translation for the whole song and it made sense. Here it is.
    Therefore, ocean, sea
    Therefore, dusk, dawn
    Therefore, north, south
    Therefore, west and east

    Therefore, ocean, sea
    Dusk, dawn
    North, South
    West and East

    Therefore, earth, star
    Winter and summer
    Therefore, autumn and spring time
    Therefore, ray of the sun and shade, fire, water
    Sky, moon, earth, sta,
    Winter and summer,
    Autumn and spring time...

    Spring time.

    General CommentThe song sounds like a dark incantation... And it's actually about spring. I think I'll pretend I have no idea what the Latin means :)
