Let me open the door with the keys that I have
Don't give me the wings like you have other men
I've tested the truth on the surface of earth
I more than well know I can do it again
Your gravity pulls with a maximum force
10 times what the moon would allow you of course
Slick stars will still burn with the fiercest of fires
Their temperatures rising to match my desires
By myself in your wood so thick and so cold
Light sun for the men dead men for the crows
You showing your face has a bearing on things
So blinded by beauty the death that it brings
Let me please hold your light let it be mine to keep
Make me warm and at home like I'm falling asleep
If you're choosing to kill do it swift do it neat
I'll slip to the grave like a crow to the fleet
And when my eyes finally open and blink
Have me push through the air with the blackest of wings
Dark beak to the wind just follow my head
As I lead all the crows through the land of the dead
When our wings get so tired black eyes needing rest
We'll look for a cliff bank to gather and nest
Leaves and sticks for our beds and some meat we can peck
Thank my mother for life, thank my mother for death
