Lyrics to Young Cardinals by Alexisonfire
Go!
Strange things happen in a lifetime
I was yesterday's ..
Tomorrow's ours
Those who see no bars
Refuse to crack or give up
Powerful men, raise your hands and deliver
No superstition to which we all claim
..................
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
......... crazed and wolves devour
Ghosts of love are going through the blinds (?)
Nicotine babies will pull those vines (?)
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
(repeat)
Oh, young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh, hear our song
And rain your innocence on me
Oh, young cardinals(x4)
Oh...
