Lyrics
Oh young cardinals, those who speak numbers, reign your innocence on me young cardinals take flight
white tails graze and wolves devour
there are things you were not meant to know
Young cardinals take flight, and powerful men raise their hands and deliver, oh hear our songs
While high minds in geneva ponder e8 vs, strange things happen in the nighttime hour, while high minds in geneva ponder e8 vs
Those who speak numbers, yesterday s buds are tomorrow s flowers, oh young cardinals
there are things you were not meant to know
reign your innocence on me one
and powerful men raise their hands and deliver
Yesterday s buds are tomorrow s flowers, those who speak numbers
oh hear our songs
Nesting in the trees, oh young cardinals
and powerful men raise their hands and deliver
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours, return to nest in the black of night Alexisonfire, and waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
Oh young cardinals, all the superstitions to which we all cling
Oh young cardinals, oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals, all the superstitions to which we all cling Cardinals, white tails graze and wolves devour
we stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants
there are things you were not meant to know
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours, oh hear our songs Cardinals, oh young cardinals
it retreats through the dust and the din
Refuse the great forgiver, oh young cardinals Cardinals, and waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
the sun hides itself concealing its grin
it retreats through the dust and the din
Reign your innocence on me one, we stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants
yesterday s buds are tomorrow s flowers
Return to nest in the black of night, reign your innocence on me oh young cardinals Cardinals, young cardinals take flight
Nicotine babies being born with no spines, oh hear our songs, reign your innocence on me young cardinals take flight
