Come Join The Murder
There's a blackbird perched outside my windowI hear him callingI hear him singHe burns me with his eyes of gold to embersHe sees all my sinsHe reads my soul
One day that bird he spoke to meLike Martin LutherLike Perecles
Come join the murderCome fly with blackWe'll give you freedomFrom the human trapCome join the murderSoar on my wingsYou'll touch the hand of GodAnd He'll make you kingAnd He'll make you king
On a blanket made of woven shadowsFlew up to HeavenOn raven's glideThere's angels that turn my wings to wax nowI fell like Judas, from grace tonight
And on that day he lied to meLike Martin LutherLike Peracles
Come join the murderCome fly with blackWe'll give you freedomFrom the human trapCome join the murderSoar on my wingsYou'll touch the hand of GodAnd He'll make you kingAnd He'll make you king
I walk among the children of my fathersThe broken wingsThe traitor's costThey call to me but never touch my heart nowI am too farI am too lost
All I can hear is what he spoke to meLike Martin LutherLike Peracles
Come join the murderCome fly with blackWe'll give you freedomFrom the human trapCome join the murderSoar on my wingsYou'll touch the hand of GodAnd He'll make you kingAnd He'll make you king
So now I curse that raven's fireYou made me hateYou made me burnHe laughed aloud as he flew from EdenYou always knewYou never learn
The crow no longer sings to meLike Martin LutherOr Peracles
Come join the murderCome fly with blackWe'll give you freedomFrom the human trapCome join the murderSoar on my wingsYou'll touch the hand of GodAnd He'll make you kingCome join the murderCome fly with blackWe'll give you freedomFrom the human trapCome join the murderSoar on my wingsYou'll touch the hand of GodAnd He'll make you kingAnd He'll make you king[x2]
