He brings the icy prophecies of war
While children lose their souls and so much more
And as the weeping leaves of autumn curl
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Or if he even sleeps at all
Where there was no escape before
That's struggled on the road so, so long
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky
See far below the dust of conflict settles on the hill
Understanding everything but you know nothing at all
A vicious fanfare cries appeasing hungry savages
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
I wonder where that black crow sleeps as day beckons the night
Black crow black crow, tell me what you really know
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Do you understand the pain that we feel down here at all
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky
To ragged armies of the field
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic far below
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
And as he spreads his wings and soars up to another level
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
He feels the savage winter call
Tell me black crow, black crow silently you pass above
To trigger that their fate is surely sealed
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
