Lyrics for Birds Of Death

Comes the night Comes the cold Comes the face Of the one I love I see the birds Upon the rock 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 O UT LIGHTS OUT What is the answer to the waste of 10, 000 days? Your soul is now my destination Until the blackbirds come.
