Young Cardinals Lyrics - Old Crows / Young Cardinals - Alexisonfire

Strange things happen in nighttime hours 

Yesterday's buds, tomorrow's flowers 

Those who speak numbers, refuse the great forgiver 

And powerful men raise your hands and deliver 

All the superstitions to which we all cling 

While high minds in Geneva ponder e8 vs. string 

The sun hides itself, concealing its grin 

And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again 

Oh, young cardinals 

Nesting in the trees 

Oh, hear our songs 

And reign your innocence on me

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Strange things happen in the nighttime hours 

White tails graze and wolves devour 

Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines 

Nicotine babies are being born without spines 

The god of the sea is swinging his trident 

We stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants 

The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din 

And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again 

Oh, young cardinals 

Nesting in the trees 

Oh, hear our song 

And reign your innocence on me 

Oh, young cardinals 

Take flight 

Return to nest in the black of night 

There were things you were not meant to know[x2]

Oh, young cardinals 

Nesting in the trees 

Oh, hear our song 

And reign your innocence on me 

Oh, young cardinals 

Oh, young cardinals 

Oh, young cardinals 

Oh, young cardinals
