lyrics

Out of the sky, the heavy rain
I guess they’re back at work again today
In truth, I’ll never be alone
With the groaning metal sky-clouds keeping company

They’re light as air and born of hate
The modern marvels taking patients to the gate
But the droning engines lull to sleep

The parts of men that love before they jump away
And all the pontius pilots of the golden age
Are whisked away in holy wars
Are whisked away in holy wars

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars are overcast aluminum
Cast out my sin, and enter in
The pride of men, and all their minds have made and done

But sometimes I desire to fly
Machines of change, and engines of expectancy
The fight for all will soon give fall
To blind oppressions, long as we’re remembering

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars are overcast aluminum
Cast out my sin, and enter in
The pride of men, and all their minds have made and done
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars are overcast aluminum
Cast out my sin, and enter in
The pride of men, and all their minds have made and done

Out of the sky, the heavy rain
I guess they’re back at work again today
It’s true, I’ll never be alone
In truth, I’ll never be alone
