| Alexisonfire – Young Cardinals Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours Yesterday's buds are tomorrows flowers Those who speak numbers refuse the great forgiver and powerful men raise their hands and deliver All the superstitions to which we all cling While high minds in geneva ponder e8 vs string 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 songs And reign your innocence on me Strange things happen in the nighttime hpurs white tails graze and wolves devour Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines Nicotine babies being born with no spines The god of the sea is swinging his trident We stoke our fires with the bones of tryants The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again Oh, young cardinals Nesting in the trees Oh, hear our songs And reign 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 Oh, young cardinals Nesting in the trees Oh, hear our songs And reign your innocence on me Oh, young cardinals Oh, young cardinals Oh, young cardinals Oh, young cardinals |

| Alexisonfire – Old Crows Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Old crows ride in the mouth of the beast Sleep beneath its tongue, cradled by it's teeth We roam from shore to shore From the open sky, to the ocean floor The more we move, the less we are ourselves And when we finally stop, we've changed to something else As rapid as a river flows As frigid as the cold wind can blow As devious as the devil's grin Our blood is cold and we've shed our skin Now, we are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday The crows are calling - seems the end is near They're spelling out their names, yet we have no fear Oh, the damage a man can do When ambition takes over his search for the truth Sometimes life just gets the best of us Some things in life will get the best of us Now, we are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday Every skyline beats in my chest Somewhere between love and sadness This is our fate, this is our test We ride in the mouth of madness As rapid as a river flows As frigid as the cold wind can blow As devious as the devil's grin Our blood is cold and we've shed our skin Now, we are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday (They're the RIGHT lyrics.) |
