ALEXISONFIRE - Young Cardinals lyrics

rate me

Go!

Strange things happen in the night time hours

Yesterday's left

Tomorrow's ours

Those who see numbers refuse the great forgiver

Powerful men, raise your hands and deliver

No superstition to which we all cling

(???)

The sun hides itself concealing its grin

And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again

Oh, young cardinals, nesting in the trees

Oh, hear our song

And rain your innocence on me

One, two, three, four!

Strange things happen in the night time hours

I was twice as crazed and wolves devour

Ghosts of love are going through the blinds

Nicotine babies will pull those blinds

The god of the sea is swinging his trident

We stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants

The sun infiltrates through the dust and the dead

And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again

Oh, young cardinals nesting in the trees

Oh, hear our song

And rain your innocence on me

Young cardinals,

Take flight

Return to nest in the black of night

There are things you were not meant to know

Young cardinals,

Take flight

Return to nest in the black of night

There are things you were not meant to know

Oh, young cardinals

Nesting in the trees

Oh, hear our song

And rain your innocence on me

Oh, young cardinals

Oh, young cardinals

Oh, young cardinals

Oh, young cardinals

Oh...
