Rebels Under the Sky

Every town, that we slip in by
Takes our time, what our life’s numbered by
You feel that mortal stain, as you slip away
And we become the night
         Rebels under the sky
In and out of lasting pain.

I’ve been trying to believe, we live and die
                   Beyond the breeze
Had we a mile, we could see, of our own life
We would see, there are tears for crying
Had heaven one chance to hold any sway over me

Then I could see the light-
That made our mile worthwhile
We fell blind in the deep
Rebels under the sky
         In and out of our own shame
As we slip away
         We dim those lights
Become travelers by
         The stream that steals again
Every ounce we buy
         Give up that right
Living out a lie

Rebels under the sky
