Lyrics

It's not just evil that stalks the american sky But there's something that's stalking the sky oh It's not just bad luck It's just what can happen I think there's a lot of good in this town I think a lot of it's unredeemed I think pretending that it's not around Will bring the shadowy talons down It's been waiting for us its whole life For us to forget that look in its eye It's been waiting for us its whole life For us to forget its name I think forgetting its name and the sound Will bring the shadowy talons down Out of an alien silence when we're all looking down We'll feel the stopping heartbeat of this town It can bring greater circling hunters down It can bring greater circling hunters down If you see it as fear See it dead as fear With its wings nailed to our city gate Banner that spells the whole name From a city that knows what goes on It's been waiting for us its whole life For us to forget that look in its eye It's been waiting for us its whole life For us to forget its name
