Nightwatchman - Flesh Shapes The Day lyrics

rate me

One, two, three

Now you might have heard different

But I know it's a fact

That Jesus, Mary, Joseph

And the Apostle Paul were black

Ten letters I am writing

Each one reads the same

And nine circles I am drawing

One around your name

Land and freedom, steel and faith

Tooth and bone and wire

Skin, scar, dirt and fire

Mic check

It doesn't matter who you are

It does not matter what you say

Flesh shapes the day

Flesh shapes the day

Now it's clear as a pillar of smoke

And broken Starbuck's glass

Yeah, I support my troops

They wave black flags, they wear black masks

All the roads are closed

Smoke is rising from the fields

The monsters left their cages

An angel set them free

Land and freedom, steel and faith

Tooth and bone and wire

And skin, scar, dirt and fire

Mic check

It doesn't matter who you are

It does not matter what you say

Flesh shapes the day

Flesh shapes the day

Veteran's hospitals and witches spells

Low to buy and high to sell

And little girls collecting shells

And memories upon the shelves

And ringing bells and high school choirs

And faithful dogs beside the fire

And billionaires and open bars

And early exits and judgments hard

And land and freedom, steel and faith

Tooth and bone and wire

And skin, scar, dirt and fire

Mic check

It doesn't matter who you are

Does not matter what the fuck you say

Flesh shapes the day

Flesh shapes the day

Flesh shapes the day

Flesh shapes the day
