High Hawk Season

I heard the wings beat on the wind tonight
 As the heat stole power from the darkening light
 I saw the streets fill up with people that I knew
 People who look like you
 Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
 We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
 Drift through the streets, walk between the cars
 Newborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant stars
 The summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are true
 And to the faithless few
 Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
 We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
 Who will rise and who will sink?
 Who's going to stand his ground and who's going to blink?
 Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park like frightened sheep
 Spirit throngs that hoist us high, three-thousand warriors deep
 Spray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stick
 Try to time the rhythm, listen for the click
 Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
 We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
