Verse 1
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
Yesterday's buds are tomorrows flowers
Those who speak numbers refuse the great forgiver
and powerful men raise their 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
Chorus
Oh, young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh, hear our songs
And reign your
innocence on me
Post chorus:
1 2 3 4!!!
Verse 2
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
white tails graze and wolves devour
Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
The god of the sea is swinging his trident
We stoke our fires with the bones of tryants
The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din
--
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
(Repeat Chorus)

Young cardinals

return to nest in
the black of night
There are things you
were not meant to know
