| [00:19.06] |
Ravenous crows hover above the altar on the forest floor, |
| [00:25.07] |
watching, peering, proud but fearing. |
| [00:28.15] |
Circling down more and more |
| [00:31.16] |
And I recall you running, I recall you hide. |
| [00:34.27] |
The heart you would give was invisible inside. |
| [00:37.73] |
The laughter that ran like a silver creek, |
| [00:40.95] |
where can it be now, is it hidden in their beaks? |
| [00:44.17] |
Where can it be now? |
| [00:49.10] |
I wonder. |
| [00:50.66] |
If I've lost you I don't know |
| [00:53.05] |
but your heart is my own, though it's as cold as stone. |
| [00:57.19] |
I still can feel you here my dear |
| [00:59.45] |
and your lidless they eyes can't but stare. |
| [01:02.51] |
Speak of your emerald eyes and the pearls they cried, |
| [01:05.93] |
your ruby smile and your ivory lies; |
| [01:09.43] |
It's all collected here and it's all so strong. |
| [01:12.07] |
Not a part is missing, not a jigsaw puzzle-piece is gone. |
| [01:18.70] |
|
| [01:28.27] |
Well enshrined here inside |
| [01:31.00] |
my sacred, my secret museum of art. |
| [01:34.35] |
Holy, enthroned, precious, my own, |
| [01:37.61] |
one of a kind; your heart. |
| [01:41.00] |
I - as I saw the ravenous crows |
| [01:44.00] |
I gave them your mortal shell and |
| [01:47.20] |
I - as I saw them closing in |
| [01:50.12] |
I saw them gather, following the smell and |
| [01:53.61] |
I - as I saw them hunger for you |
| [01:56.40] |
I left them with your soul's prison cell |
| [01:59.76] |
I - gave them everything they wanted |
| [02:02.74] |
I let them help themselves |
| [02:06.30] |
...to pick clean your bones. |
| [02:12.38] |
(Solo) |
| [02:37.00] |
And as they're soon to feast, |
| [02:38.35] |
these grey clay-coloured beasts land carefully |
| [02:41.32] |
and hide next to where you lie. |
| [02:42.24] |
And they anticipate, then thank they thank their fate |
| [02:45.25] |
and start pecking at your thighs and what once was where your eyes were. |
| [02:50.47] |
And the blood stained brittle beaks part in thanks and shriek |
| [02:55.48] |
with confession in their cries. |
| [02:57.00] |
We all gave in, it was no sin; |
| [02:59.38] |
We love you, the crows and I. |
| [03:06.14] |
Ravenous Crows |
| [03:12.83] |
Ravenous Crows |
