We Own the Skies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am a breadwinner I chose to brick these walls somehow Beneath the city spires I gave my shoulders to the plow Cold and cruel the concrete The wicked pavement chokes the sky I chose this path The one so often traveled by [Chorus] Tonight, we burn the wintry frost of night Tonight, we wish upon the fading light Tonight, our burning hearts will rise Tonight, we own the skies [Verse 2] My hands are bleeding where they often crack The stars will sometimes burn with longing Through the choking black of night Shifts piling each against the next A Trojan horse inside my chest Is screaming for the life I left My kingdom for a steady paycheck [Chorus] Tonight, we burn the wintry frost of night Tonight, we wish upon the fading light Tonight, our burning hearts will rise Tonight, we own the skies Tonight, we own the skies [Instrumental break] [Chorus] Tonight, we burn the wintry frost of night Tonight, we wish upon the fading light Tonight, our burning hearts will rise Tonight, we own the skies Tonight, we own the skies
