We Own the Skies

[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
