ist - King Martha - Released 2005
An Invasion of Crows
There shall be no further schooling for you my child
I’m afraid we must abandon you, dear, to run wild
Trains shall soon howl in the night
To carry you home to a moon that shines brightly and low
There has been an invasion of crows
No more shall that morning sunlight prise open your eyes
They’ve anchored the twilight to Earth in eternal reprise
So cast off your fear of the dark
For you’ll wear the glorious mark of that forgotten glow
There has been an invasion of crows
Rusty ran falls
From a sea of black cloud
There’s a thunderclap sound
Of mighty wings beating
There shall be no further queries to answer, my son
The battle’s decided, but no one’s convinced we have won
Still we can not risk your demise
In the flurry of men changing sides on the Damascus road
There has been an invasion of crows
