Lyrics for Thick Air

It's been a long, long time We've been shut darkly in Scratching for smiles And missing our friends Now we are free Just about to be And a thick air of triumph Flows in Composed from a living past Now swelling around Its voices its rhythm Its earth-rending sound Now we are free To melt and to cry And a thick air of promise Surges by It heartens, it bolsters, It buoys and then Leaves us to be Our own new selves again Let the dead be the dead We are living, my friend And the thick air of duty Has died And a new air of awesome Will rise
