Crows, wipe the blood off the end of your claws
|
||
|
|
Said the vulture, lets gather like storms
|
||
|
|
For the war, for the war
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Crows, as the night turns its skin into coal
|
||
|
|
Dark as corpses but cluttered with gold
|
||
|
|
They will label you thieves, wolves, and whores, but
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You are nothing less than angels
|
||
|
|
You are nothing less than angels
|
||
|
|
You are nothing less than angels
|
||
|
|
You are nothing less than angels
|
||
|
|
Cast down and covered in black
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ain't this the bloodiest mess in the world?
|
||
|
|
Said the virgin, a torn little girl
|
||
|
|
Boy, you went and made a sweet wreck of my soul
|
||
|
|
And I've already forgiven you
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And blood was running down her dress
|
||
|
|
In streams, into her hands where she was stitching
|
||
|
|
On the flesh he'd left in sections
|
||
|
|
On the carpet near a bed that
|
||
|
|
Never slept while you was sleeping
|
||
|
|
In her clothes that he had laid with
|
||
|
|
On the floor with all his fingers
|
||
|
|
Crossed, in hoping that that distance wouldn't grow
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But how it grew, and how it hurt
|
||
|
|
And how it hallowed every memory he'd
|
||
|
|
Never felt was threatened by a thing the world could
|
||
|
|
Conjure up to kill them
|
||
|
|
Oh, but he let it kill them
|
||
|
|
What a bunch of fools we lovers are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And now she's smiling
|
||
|
|
With herself put back together
|
||
|
|
Just a shadow of the past before the war, all sewn together
|
||
|
|
Like a city sick from
|
||
|
|
Storms and sick of waiting for a
|
||
|
|
God to call the floods out of her home
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What a bunch of fools we lovers are, we lovers are
|
||
|
|
When tempted by the taste of flesh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"My boy, you are nothing more
|
||
|
|
Than a thief and a whore in a suit of the finest of armor"
|
||
|
|
Laughed the vulture, laughed the vulture
|
||
|
|
"Pathetic little child, I am embarrassed for you"
|
||
