[00:19.06]Ravenous crows hover above the altar on the forest floor,
[00:25.07]watching, peering, proud but fearing.
[00:28.15]Circling down more and more
[00:31.16]And I recall you running, I recall you hide.
[00:34.27]The heart you would give was invisible inside.
[00:37.73]The laughter that ran like a silver creek,
[00:40.95]where can it be now, is it hidden in their beaks?
[00:44.17]Where can it be now?
[00:49.10]I wonder.
[00:50.66]If I've lost you I don't know
[00:53.05]but your heart is my own, though it's as cold as stone.
[00:57.19]I still can feel you here my dear
[00:59.45]and your lidless they eyes can't but stare.
[01:02.51]Speak of your emerald eyes and the pearls they cried,
[01:05.93]your ruby smile and your ivory lies;
[01:09.43]It's all collected here and it's all so strong.
[01:12.07]Not a part is missing, not a jigsaw puzzle-piece is gone.
[01:18.70]
[01:28.27]Well enshrined here inside
[01:31.00]my sacred, my secret museum of art.
[01:34.35]Holy, enthroned, precious, my own,
[01:37.61]one of a kind; your heart.
[01:41.00]I - as I saw the ravenous crows
[01:44.00]I gave them your mortal shell and
[01:47.20]I - as I saw them closing in
[01:50.12]I saw them gather, following the smell and
[01:53.61]I - as I saw them hunger for you
[01:56.40]I left them with your soul's prison cell
[01:59.76]I - gave them everything they wanted
[02:02.74]I let them help themselves
[02:06.30]...to pick clean your bones.
[02:12.38](Solo)
[02:37.00]And as they're soon to feast,
[02:38.35]these grey clay-coloured beasts land carefully
[02:41.32]and hide next to where you lie.
[02:42.24]And they anticipate, then thank they thank their fate
[02:45.25]and start pecking at your thighs and what once was where your eyes were.
[02:50.47]And the blood stained brittle beaks part in thanks and shriek
[02:55.48]with confession in their cries.
[02:57.00]We all gave in, it was no sin;
[02:59.38]We love you, the crows and I.
