The Wounds - 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
