The General's Orders

Verse 1

Salt spray

Biting at my face

Ship hulls groan like a ghost in the chase

I've survived more shadow wars than I got years

Cold blood

And even colder fears

Thunderbird

Burning up the clouds

I talk low

Way beneath the crowds

Bigfoot

He grips my hand tight

He says

"Champ

Time to win the fight"

Pre-Chorus

Admiral Champ and General Bigfoot

Commandant Dogman and General Thunderbird

Chorus

General Bigfoot

He said to me

We gotta open up their eyes so they finally see

The wars we fight are all too real

Sneaking and peeking through the night

He said

That is how it stays

That is how it stays

That is how it stays

Sneaking and peeking through the night

Verse 2

Rendezvous

Twelve months since the last

Wolfman

Running through the past

Dogman

Waiting by the pines

I ask for news

Between the lines

Bigfoot sighs

"Nothing new to tell

Politicians

Sending us to hell"

They refuse

They turn their heads away

We stay

In the charcoal gray

Chorus

General Bigfoot

He said to me

We gotta open up their eyes so they finally see

The wars we fight are all too real

Sneaking and peeking through the night

He said

That is how it stays

That is how it stays

That is how it stays

Sneaking and peeking through the night

Bridge

Thunderbird

Dropping from the sun

He says

"Kid

Don't you ever run"

No panic

No slowing down the pace

He owns the clouds

He owns the space

High

He is flying high

High

He is flying high

Dogman laughs

Teeth like jagged knives

He and Wolfman

Leading double lives

Men in black

Chasing after ghosts

We're the kings

We're the hidden hosts

Pre-Chorus

Admiral Champ and General Bigfoot

Commandant Dogman and General Thunderbird

Chorus

General Bigfoot

He said to me

We gotta open up their eyes so they finally see

The wars we fight are all too real

Sneaking and peeking through the night

He said

That is how it stays

That is how it stays

That is how it stays

Sneaking and peeking through the night

Outro

Sneaking through the night

Peeking through the night

Always moving

Always lurking

Just keep moving

Just keep lurking

The eyes of the world

The eyes of the world

Wide open now
