Bird of Prey

In the backseat while gently teasing

A bird of prey lures her victims

Pain out and into the night

In this windy city, you’ll see the siren take flight

We will fly to the masquerade ball

And pretend we belong as we dance to the song of a parakeet

Stringing us along with his new old guitar

So we won’t feel too far from home

Sharpen your bayonet, this isn’t over yet

A sweet assault, a gentle revolt, hypnotized

By a stranger who’ll make you forget

That you’re married to time

Come down to the rivеr tonight

Three queens will be there

Bеaring gifts, unaware that you’re not alone

Your heart has been marked

The wild beast has chosen her feast

From a lifetime of sorrow, I fled

Just to follow her voice

The voice in my head as I lay alone in my bones

I could feel her embrace pulling me so far from home

Sharpen your bayonet, this isn’t over yet

A sweet assault, a gentle revolt, hypnotized

By a stranger who’ll make you forget

That you’re married to time

No tears, boy, you paid for the ride

Best do what you’re told, as this crime unfolds

You will understand when you thought you were the muse

You were simply this story’s interlude
