[Verse 1]
How soft the wind where the tide is remembered
So light the urge and tender the loss
We are off in waves of untimely surrender
Only love remains, the rest is dross
And we shall be fools again in our rebuilding of the just city
Like our refounding of Troy in Rome
We know the decaying grave of Europe lacks an altar now
If we never leave, we will nеver be home

[Verse 2]
Wе sang of peace and wanted war as the banners returned
So give me a target to pierce
For this life is like a bow, this mind like an arrow
From the old world, so free and so fierce

[Pre-Chorus]
And those who might stand firm are gone
Those who shout the loudest are wrong

[Chorus]
Give your heart to the hawks
Don’t give it to me
Give your heart to the hawks
Don’t give in to me
[Verse 3]
How soft the wind where the tide is remembered
So light the urge and tender the loss
We are off in waves of untimely surrender
Only love remains, the rest is dross
And we shall be fools again in our rebuilding of the just city
Like our refounding of Troy in Rome
We know the decaying grave of Europe lacks an altar now
If we never leave, we will never be home

[Pre-Chorus]
And those who might stand firm are gone
Those who shout the loudest are wrong

[Chorus]
Give your heart to the hawks
Don’t give it to me
Give your heart to the hawks
Don’t give in to me
Give your heart to the hawks
Don’t give it to me
Give your heart to the hawks
Don’t give in to me
