High Hawk Season

Lyrics

I heard the wings beat
on the wind tonight
As the heat stole power from
the darkening light
I saw the streets fill up
with people that I knew
People who looked like you

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
We are young supernovas and
the heat's about to break

Drift through the streets,
walk between the cars
Newborn sons and daughters
spat forth from distant stars
The summer will reveal itself
to those whose hearts are true
And to the faithless few

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
We are young supernovas and
the heat's about to break

Who will rise and who will sink?
Who's going to stand his ground
and who's going to blink?
Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park
like frightened sheep
Spirit throngs that hoist us high,
three thousand warriors deep

Spray our dreams on any surface
where the paint will stick
Try to time the rhythm,
listen for the click

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
We are young supernovas and
the heat's about to break

Banter
