Murder Rising

[Verse 1] A flap of the wing Spread of the feathers Up they will rise From now to forever [Chorus] In the dark they hide With wings they flied It's an uprising Of the crows [Verse 2] A majestic sight The murder took flight And blanketed the skies [Verse 3] With the sound of a caw They readied their maw With naught but a beak Havoc they did wreak [Chorus] In the dark they hide With wings they flied It's an uprising Of the crows [Verse 4] Nature has come to reclaim They pecked and they maimed Retaking their throne From those they picked to the bone [Verse 5] Time has taken its course Civilization removed by force Now is the time of the crow Living atop the ruins below [Chorus] In the dark they hide With wings they flied It's an uprising Of the crows [Verse 6] A flight across the trees Guided by the gentle breeze Bartering by sticks and rocks Gathered together in their flocks [Verse 7] A dwelling they have made In the ever-glade A castle of stone With a crow upon the throne
