Songs: Ohia - The Gray Tower 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 waitin 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 it's 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 2x
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...
