Crows

I knew this was coming

Could smell the storm on the air

Shadows only grow darker

They're drowning out the glare

It's too early for dusk

Ashes black out the sky

It's too early for dusk

We took only what we could carry

But our hands were too tired and old

For the things you hold on to

When you're left out in the cold

With both eyes over our shoulders

In darkness and silence we ran

Held tight 'til the meat fell

From the bones of our rotting hands

At the end of it all

Stand undivided, with black hearts united

At the end of it all

We can never go home, until we turn every stone

At the end of it all

A fate undecided, when black hearts are guided

At the end of it all

We falter, we fail, still with wind in our sails

I will extract my pound of flesh

As long as it's mine for the taking

We found our morals subjective

We all got dirt under our nails

It's a hard thing to avoid

When crawling through the mud and hail
