Birds of Death
Diamanda Galás
Comes the night
Comes the cold
Comes the face
Of the one I love
I see the birds
Between the rocks
The crows that knew your name
And came on time
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
I see your eyes
We held your hands
What did you think about
Until the angels came
Birds that love you know
What you know now
Could I have stopped them
From holding you down
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
Friends and lovers
The night draws near
Your eyes don't fool her
Who knows your fear
Birds of death
I've seen you all before
Birds of love cry
"This is yours no more!"
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS OUT
What is the answer to the waste of 10,000 days?
Your soul is now my destination
Until the blackbirds come
