Flesh Shapes The Day by Nightwatchman
Flesh Shapes The Day lyrics
One, two, three
Now you might have heard different
But I know it's a fact
That Jesus, Mary, Joseph
And the Apostle Paul were black
Ten letters I am writing
Each one reads the same
And nine circles I am drawing
One around your name
Land and freedom, steel and faith
Tooth and bone and wire
Skin, scar, dirt and fire
Mic check
It doesn't matter who you are
It does not matter what you say
Flesh shapes the day
Flesh shapes the day
Now it's clear as a pillar of smoke
And broken Starbuck's glass
Yeah, I support my troops
They wave black flags, they wear black masks
All the roads are closed
Smoke is rising from the fields
The monsters left their cages
An angel set them free
Land and freedom, steel and faith
Tooth and bone and wire
And skin, scar, dirt and fire
Mic check
It doesn't matter who you are
It does not matter what you say
Flesh shapes the day
Flesh shapes the day
Veteran's hospitals and witches spells
Low to buy and high to sell
And little girls collecting shells
And memories upon the shelves
And ringing bells and high school choirs
And faithful dogs beside the fire
And billionaires and open bars
And early exits and judgments hard
And land and freedom, steel and faith
Tooth and bone and wire
And skin, scar, dirt and fire
Mic check
It doesn't matter who you are
Does not matter what the fuck you say
Flesh shapes the day
Flesh shapes the day
Flesh shapes the day
Flesh shapes the day
