Air Marshal Landing - Nocturne lyrics

We were told a million jokes By men who cloaked intent in robes And they told us how to sing Like our voice didn't mean a thing So we ran into the trees To find a space to bend our knees Praying for a change of heart Or at least some company This is our song in the dead of the night When nightmares take place behind our eyes When the slaps and the smelling salts fail to revive This is our song until we're alive Our escaping was so sweet Building ships to sail the seas Loaded guns and sharpened swords We threw our conscience overboard We threw our compa** to the wind Threw back our heads and laughed again Ignored the guilt from deep within The smelling salt of all our sin So hold me and wait for the night to be over The morning will break, the Son will bring closure
