Cries Of The Living

Blood splattered crows
Fly the air
Searching forever
For the one

The eyes plucked clean
Blind to the world
Denied pain
Denied anger

Can not take this
Must pass it on
Bullet to the brain
The only way

Fall into the ravens nest
Fall into the darkness
That comforts the soul
And embodies the dead

Let the raven
Take you under
His black bloody wing
Show you the world

Enter the night
Of the dead
That others can see
But will never feel

Into the ground
Where the dead
Shall never awake
From the cries of the living
