There’s a black bird perched outside my window
\nI hear him calling
\nI hear him sing
\nHe burns me with his eyes of gold to embers
\nHe sees all my sins
\nHe reads my soul<\/p>\n
One day that bird, he spoke to me
\nLike Martin Luther
\nLike Pericles<\/p>\n
Come join the murder
\nCome fly with black
\nWe’ll give you freedom
\nFrom the human trap
\nCome join the murder
\nSoar on my wings
\nYou’ll touch the hand of God
\nAnd He’ll make you king
\nAnd He’ll make you king<\/p>\n
On a blanket made of woven shadows
\nFlew up to heaven
\nOn a raven’s glide
\nThese angels have turned my wings to wax now
\nI fell like Judas grace denied<\/p>\n
On that day that he lied to me
\nLike Martin Luther
\nLike Pericles
\nCome join the murder
\nCome fly with black
\nWe’ll give you freedom
\nFrom the human trap
\nCome join the murder
\nSoar on my wings
\nYou’ll touch the hand of God
\nAnd He’ll make you king
\nAnd He’ll make you king<\/p>\n
I walk among the children of my fathers
\nThe broken wings, betrayal’s cost
\nThey call to me but never touch my heart, now
\nI am too far
\nAnd I’m too lost<\/p>\n
All I can hear is what he spoke to me
\nLike Martin Luther
\nLike Pericles<\/p>\n
Come join the murder
\nCome fly with black
\nWe’ll give you freedom
\nFrom the human trap
\nCome join the murder
\nSoar on my wings
\nYou’ll touch the hand of God
\nAnd He’ll make you king
\nAnd He’ll make you king<\/p>\n
So now I curse that raven’s fire
\nYou made me hate, you made me burn
\nHe laughed aloud as he flew from Eden
\nYou always knew, you never learn<\/p>\n
The crow no longer sings to me
\nLike Martin Luther
\nOr Pericles<\/p>\n
Come join the murder
\nCome fly with black
\nWe’ll give you freedom
\nFrom the human trap
\nCome join the murder
\nSoar on my wings
\nYou’ll touch the hand of God
\nAnd He’ll make you king<\/p>\n
Come join the murder
\nCome fly with black
\nWe’ll give you freedom
\nFrom the human trap
\nCome join the murder
\nSoar on my wings
\nYou’ll touch the hand of God
\nAnd He’ll make you king
\nAnd He’ll make you king<\/p>\n
