Thick Air

Lyrics

It's been a long, long time
 We've been shut darkly in
 Scratching for smiles
 And missing our friends
 Now we are free
 Just about to be
 And a thick air of triumph
 Flows in
 Composed from a living past
 Now swelling around
 Its voices its rhythm
 Its earth-rending sound
 Now we are free
 To melt and to cry
 And a thick air of promise
 Surges by
 It heartens, it bolsters,
 It buoys and then
 Leaves us to be
 Our own new selves again
 Let the dead be the dead
 We are living, my friend
 And the thick air of duty
 Has died
 And a new air of awesome
 Will rise
