The Gray Tower - Songs: Ohia

It’s not just evil that stalks the american sky

But there’s something that’s stalking the sky oh

It’s not just bad luck

It’s just what can happen

I think there’s a lot of good in this town

I think a lot of it’s unredeemed

I think pretending that it’s not around

Will bring the shadowy talons down

It’s been waitin for us its whole life

For us to forget that look in its eye

It’s been waiting for us its whole life

For us to forget its name

I think forgetting its name and the sound

Will bring the shadowy talons down

Out of an alien silence when we’re all looking down

We’ll feel the stopping heartbeat of this town

It can bring greater circling hunters down (2x)

If you see it as fear

See it dead as fear

With its wings nailed to our city gate

Banner that spells the whole name

From a city that knows what goes on

It’s been waitin for us its whole life

For us to forget that look in its eye

It’s been waiting for us its whole life

For us to forget its name
