Servants of the Air - The Night Flight Orchestra

I’ve been drifting 'cross the heavens

Like a supersonic wraith

And the codes I’ve been transmitting

Went unnoticed into space

There were times I thought I saw you

Like a beacon from afar

Guess I never really knew you

But I sensed just what you are

And as the light returns to guide us

I feel your presence everywhere

Despite the darkness still inside us

We will still remain the servants of the air

I trawl the frequencies of distance

I scan the altitudes of myth

I search the shallow for the essence

Before I enter the abyss

Guess I’m ready for departure

Although something holds me down

Like an echo from out farther

Where the living still abound

And as the light returns to guide us

I feel your presence everywhere

Despite the darkness still inside us

We will still remain the servants of the air

Of the air

Words like a sudden rapture

From the unconscious deep

Twisting my dull perception

From years of debauchery

Spheres from the arch galactic

Traces the hidden hand

Touches the once ecstatic

Where longing refused to bend

During those endless nights of silence

Stardust erupted

From the distant thought of you

And as the light returns to guide us

I feel your presence everywhere

Despite the darkness still inside us

We will still remain the servants of the air
