Lyrics for Lost Boys

My blistered feet Turn bloody So i take to the air, And i am everywhere, i am starlight I am moonlight Over burning fields and bodies. I stay close to the ground, Slipping miles from the arches and arc-lights, Into the warm night... My winged children, all Will fly over the mountain wall To the lid of the sky, And slice its belly full wide With their warm knives -Not the pin-pricks of starlight- But to bathe in the bright blood Of the world, Of the world above.
