Birds Of Death - Diamanda Galas

Comes the night

Comes the cold

Comes the face

Of the one I love

I see the birds

Between the rocks

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 OUT

LIGHTS OUT

What is the answer to the waste of 10,000 days?

Your soul is now my destination

Until the blackbirds come
