CODA: The Nightbirds

God took the night off
God took the night off
God took the night off
He let the will of man
He let the will of man
He let the will of man prevail
There's a luster in the sky
There's a luster in the sky
There's a luster in the sky that we cannot see

The Nightbirds came to save us
The Nightbirds came to set us free
And the Nightbirds came to give us peace
A rather ironic species
A rather ironic species
A rather ironic species

Oh, what futile shields these arms will be
What desolate silence will thrive at daybreak?
On pillows of stone and blankets of ash
We will sleep for one last time

The Nightbirds came to save us
The Nightbirds came to set us free
And the Nightbirds came to give us peace
A rather ironic species
A rather ironic species
A rather ironic species

Tonight, we will sleep in peace
Tonight, we will sleep in
We will sleep in peace, and sleep in pieces

I know there's been a [?] in last yearbooks
Sugarcoated and power crazed
Sugarcoated and power crazed
