Under the Wire
Under the wire
Past the switchblade guards
Across the desert sand
Guided by a map of stars
Out in the open
When all doors are closed
Under the firmament
Exposed
They came up the corridor
That winds an invisible thread
Past checkpoints and cameras
Past screens of infrared
Out in the open
You knocked on our door
And into the concrete barracks you were led
Locked in a cage
Without a pillow for your head
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Long is the day
Longer is the night
Huddled together
Beneath a dirty crimson light
Out in the open
Lured by a dream
Into the jaws of a machine
Mother of exiles
Your torch is growing dim
Out in the open
The New World will begin
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Past the switchblade guards
Across the desert sand
Guided by a map of stars
Out in the open
When all doors are closed
Under the firmament
Exposed
They came up the corridor
That winds an invisible thread
Past checkpoints and cameras
Past screens of infrared
Out in the open
You knocked on our door
And into the concrete barracks you were led
Locked in a cage
Without a pillow for your head
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Long is the day
Longer is the night
Huddled together
Beneath a dirty crimson light
Out in the open
Lured by a dream
Into the jaws of a machine
Mother of exiles
Your torch is growing dim
Out in the open
The New World will begin
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
Dreaming of a harbor safe 'neath a quilt of stars
