Murder of Crows
Whispers of Forbidden Love: Murder of Crows' Cryptic Tale
Lyrics
She wrote you a letter You ain't never read it
Unread letter from her
Sat out on your doorstep Since the day that she sent it
Sitting on doorstep since sent
She had lots to say but words just blew away
Expressive words vanished
The letters got replaced with things she didn't say
Replaced by unspoken things
Nail a crow to the fence and behold death's romance
Nailing a crow symbolizes death
The rest of the murder bear witness from telephone wires
Witnessed by the murder (group of crows)
Lost lovers and friends well they will all attend
Loved ones attend funeral
With roses and incense on the funeral pyre
Roses and incense on pyre
She wrote it all down with an eagle's feather
Writing with intensity
Dipped in cocaine and blood
Metaphorical ink with cocaine and blood
A diamond needle on a broken record
Broken record of an unsung melody
Of a melody never sung
You stumbled for hours over pages With gilded edges
Pages with ornate edges
Ink and newsprint smeared with cliff's sharp ledges
Ink and newsprint reflecting challenges
The image you saw, out of focus and out of turn
Blurry and misaligned image
An envelope left in the light of the rising moon
Envelope left under the moonlight
She wrote it all down with an eagle's feather
Intense writing continues
Dipped in cocaine and blood
Symbolic ink with cocaine and blood
A diamond needle on a broken record
Repetition of broken record metaphor
Of a melody never sung
Time has left a handful of tear stained pages
Time's impact on tear-stained pages
Washed out memories left lost and faded
Faded memories washed out
You've called out her name only left unsettled
Calling unsettled memories
A long phonograph, a thousand unspoken words
Phonograph echoing unspoken words
She wrote it all down with an eagle's feather
Intense writing persists
Dipped in cocaine and blood
Metaphorical ink with cocaine and blood
A diamond needle on a broken record
Reiteration of broken record
Of a melody never sung
