Flesh Shapes The Day Lyrics - Singles - The Nightwatchman

One, two, three 

Now you might have heard different 

But I know it's a fact 

That Jesus, Mary, Joseph 

And the Apostle Paul were black 

Ten letters I am writing 

Each one reads the same 

And nine circles I am drawing 

One around your name 

Land and freedom, steel and faith 

Tooth and bone and wire 

Skin, scar, dirt and fire 

Mic check 

It doesn't matter who you are 

It does not matter what you say 

Flesh shapes the day 

Flesh shapes the day 

Now it's clear as a pillar of smoke 

And broken Starbuck's glass 

Yeah, I support my troops 

They wave black flags, they wear black masks 

All the roads are closed 

Smoke is rising from the fields 

The monsters left their cages 

An angel set them free 

Land and freedom, steel and faith 

Tooth and bone and wire 

And skin, scar, dirt and fire 

Mic check 

It doesn't matter who you are 

It does not matter what you say 

Flesh shapes the day 

Flesh shapes the day 

Veteran's hospitals and witches spells 

Low to buy and high to sell 

And little girls collecting shells 

And memories upon the shelves 

And ringing bells and high school choirs 

And faithful dogs beside the fire 

And billionaires and open bars 

And early exits and judgments hard 

And land and freedom, steel and faith 

Tooth and bone and wire 

And skin, scar, dirt and fire 

Mic check 

It doesn't matter who you are 

Does not matter what the fuck you say 

Flesh shapes the day 

Flesh shapes the day 

Flesh shapes the day 

Flesh shapes the day
