High Hawk Season
I heard the wings beat on the wind tonightAs the heat stole power from the darkening lightI saw the streets fill up with people that I knewPeople who looked like youRise if you're sleeping, stay awakeWe are young supernovas and the heat's about to breakDrift through the streets, walk between the carsNewborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant starsThe summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are trueAnd to the faithless fewRise if you're sleeping, stay awakeWe are young supernovas and the heat's about to breakWho will rise and who will sing? Who's going to stand his ground and who's going to blink?Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park like frightened sheepSpirit throngs that hoist us high, three thousand warriors deepSpray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stickTry to time the rhythm, listen for the click Rise if you're sleeping, stay awakeWe are young supernovas and the heat's about to break Aus Songtexte Mania
