Young Cardinals Lyrics - Alexisonfire

Artist: AlexisOnFire

Strange things happen in a lifetime

I was yesterday's voice, tomorrow's ours

Those who see numbers refuse the great forgiver

Powerful men raise your hands and deliver

Low 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

Strange things happen in the night time

I was twice as 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 soak our clothes with the sounds of violence

The sun, it retreats 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

We're turning this in the black of night

There were things you were not meant to know
