BLOOD IN THE SKIES

AS WE CROSS THE BORDERS OF THE COMMONWEALTH
SILENCE IS GETTING HEAVIER
THE AETHERSCOPE SCREEN IS TURNING TO BLACK
THE WING COMMANDER TRIES TO KEEP OUR FLIGHT UNDETECTED
OUR MISSION IS FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
AND THERE MAY BE NO COMING BACK
THE AIRSHIP PASSED THE BOUNDS OF THE KNOWN WORLD
WE’RE ON OUR OWN THE HORIZON IS BLURRED
GET READY THE STAKES ARE HIGH
WE FLY OVER THE SLEEPING LANDS
AND THERE’S BLOOD IN THE SKIES

CAN YOU SEE THE FUTURE IN A PIECE OF STEEL?
A PUNCH CARD PEOPLE WOULD DIE FOR
SHOULD WINGS AND WHEELS KEEP UP THE GAME
HAVING JUMPED IN ALTERNATE HISTORY
WE’RE HERE AND THERE BUT NOT THE SAME
GET READY THE STAKES ARE HIGH
WE FLY OVER THE SLEEPING LANDS
AND THERE’S BLOOD IN THE SKIES

WILL WE MAKE OUR WAY TO TURTLE ISLAND
UNDER FIRE LIKE A MARCHING BAND
GET READY THE STAKES ARE HIGH
WE FLY OVER THE SLEEPING LANDS
AND THERE’S BLOOD IN THE SKIES
