Blood and Sky

You wake to the ache
Of the taste of the lives you've broken through the years
Losing grip on the wheel
There's a crash coming soon so steal yourself to deal
With the threat of the drought drying out
In a fire that you chose
Buckles tight in the net
For a wing mirror spider tarmac never slows

You dominated when you were flying high but now you're
Devastated as you find you're just a fly
And from the plaster you see time spinning by it's simply
One more disaster in a life of blood and sky

The ticking of a private hell
I'll try not to sob too hard
You did a job and did it well
Now you act as if you're scared

Settle back
Have a drink
Try not to think of the evil that you send
Push it back
Push it down
You can weave you can dodge
Your guilt will never end

You dominated when you were flying high but now you're
Devastated as you find you're just a fly
And from the cockpit you saw death spilling down it's one more
Job done and dusted in a life of blood and sky

In a life of blood and sky

Grab a fork
Grip it hard
Beat it well until the mystery dissolves
Then we'll all shake our heads
Laughing loud as we reach for our revolvers

Blood and sky
Blood and sky

You dominated when you were flying high but now you're
Devastated as you find you're just a fly
And from the plaster you see time spinning by it's simply
One more disaster in a life of blood and sky
We were cremated by you from way on high
And nothing seems complicated when you hear your children cry
And from the cockpit you saw death spilling down it's one more
Job done and dusted in a life of blood and sky
