lyrics

RedSky at Night


[Intro: Syred]
They say some things, are better left unsaid
but sometimes you just need to approach your angle,
through somebody else's head, so now you now how I see
Kwame, tell 'em how you be! Yeah


[Verse 1: Kwame Ayisi]
TBC


[Chorus: Syred]
Say good morning to the world, good night to the past life
au revoir to yesterday, ce noir is our night
this moment is my time, je ce qu'il faut
salute to the future, cause I'll get what I want

Say good morning to the world, good night to the past life
au revoir to yesterday, ce noir is our night
this moment is my time, je ce qu'il faut
salute to the future, cause I'll get what I want

[Bridge: Syred]
They say a red sky at night, that's a shepherd's delight
Syred sky in the morning that's a shepherds warning
That the red ram's rising, writing cyphers, storming..
out standing in his field, forcing sheep from conforming


[Verse 2: Syred]
The other half of a granddaughter to a man who went too soon
by the sounds of the stories I hear this man was a blue moon
with his poetry I read, I see this man was in true tune
with his enemies and his family and his world is now surrounding me

So look down you'll see, I'm proud to be carrying your torch your legacy
if you're letting me we never met but we apparently share similarities
and it will challenge me, as I attempt to be
even half the man, that you went to be

So do what you will, find a friend in me
I will relay your message, just send it me
(Adrian) I said, do what you will, find a friend in me
I will relay your message, just send it me

The younger sibling to a man, that will do whatever he can
to ensure his little brother will conjure up all the fan
base that he deserves, that he has worked for
but hold that thought, you are a soldier holding the fort

you are the king of the castle I shall half my crown with
and whenever I'm getting ahead of myself keep me grounded
foundation of my future, closest link to my past
as there's no time at the present my gift to you is my art

because in truth, on my own, I'm as brittle as a bottle thrown
but you, alone, you're stronger than the cobblestone
the colder keeps the warmth and on the flame that won't stay hot alone
control me before I burn out, from you I think I can learn how to say


[Chorus: Syred]
