It’s like a whisper
Her voice like the breath of life
Mother mother
The air around her
All the ghosts of a second chance
Would she grant us this time again
To touch to feel to see him again
Then we all sighed the low-heeled
Unearthed and singing the Alter Hero
Caught in the rewind
We’re all just Spirits of the Air
We all still need an Alter Hero
Not the human kind
Sing on the Spirits of the Air
—
When I was a child
Her ghost took me to the sky
It was our secret
We flew till sunrise
When I awoke the sermons flared
They kept us buried deep below
But she wasn’t the haunting type
Spirits of the Air
Bring us the Alter Hero
Spirits of the Air
It's spectral flattery
It’s like a whisper
His voice like the air I breathe
Brother brother
I still remember
He was soaring years ago
The fire of X the feathers scorched
He’s gone he’s gone
He’s gone to ground
Then resigned the low-heeled
Unearthed and singing the Alter Hero
He’s caught in the rewind
He joined the Spirits of the Air
Sing on Sing on
We all still need an Alter Hero
Not the human kind
We’re all just Spirits of the Air

Blindness
05:40

Waiting we fall in our circles
Flying silent on winged egos
Experience is the key
To wake up with all the poverty
Day in day in day in
We can only touch the Surface
We calm the Temper not the Rage
We treat the Blindness not the Plague
Stumbling over the broken wills
Feeling for the way out
Our eyes became golden
Black holes we swallowed only what we could touch
The moment then lost
Or if we could just fade away for the time to pass us by
We can only touch the Surface
We calm the Temper not the Rage
We treat the Blindness not the Plague
We can only touch the symptoms
Experience is the key
To understand is live in poverty
We can only touch the Surface
We calm the Temper not the Rage
We treat the Blindness not the Plague
We treat the Blindness not the Plague
We treat the Blindness not the Plague

I always told you
I’d write your tale
But until that day we’ll give you this song
You’ll be remembered
Our Fredator
You hid your extra wings in your boots
To carry you
So raise your glass
Raise your glass
One hand two drinks
It’s a beautiful life
Screaming through London
Even Geordie recognized
The guitarist Superman
Blasting Chameleons in the van
Silver Tongue as we filled the air
You leapt from the stage to serenade the bar
Or the trunk of a car
Raise your glass
Raise your glass
One hand two drinks
It’s a beautiful life
Living your life like the end of the world
Flying over the gas station pump
With nothing on but your boots and your belt
Singing opera at 4 am
9:30 F St was never the same
And Poseurs was your sanity place
After DC Space
One hand two drinks
It’s a beautiful life
It’s a beautiful life
Such a beautiful life
It’s a beautiful life
Yes, you’ll be remembered
While the old DC fades
Its spirit perseveres
The Black Cat’s farewell onto history’s page
It was an honor to share your stage
So raise your glass
Raise your glass
One hand two drinks
And we all deserve - a place - to call home
La la la la la la
It’s a beautiful life
It’s a beautiful life

Sing on the
Spirits of the Air
We all need a Hero
A second chance
Tale of a brilliant new Birth
If only she would grant us
Sing on the Alter Hero
Not the human kind
This is our last wish
We all need a Hero
We all need a second chance
We're all just Spirits of the Air
Caught in the Rewind
