lyrics

Black Birds

don’t you see the fix you’re in
digging for a heart in this refuse bin
once the sacrifices start
you’ll burn next if you’re not smart

they drop bodies into the sea
and say those killings keep us free
down at the bank see the buzzards stare
they’ll strip your carcass anywhere

time has come to slip away
when the black birds rule the day

your friends are agents in disguise
keep them close and peel your eyes
risk some feeling if you must
but you can die from those you trust

time has come to slip away
when the black birds rule the day

crawl outside the city gates
flee the fate that sure awaits
seek the ones who share your plight
flickering pilgrims dot the night

time has come to slip away
when the black birds rule the day
