Across my path, still and completely motionless.
A song that makes no sound, melody of the lifeless.
Where on the sidewalk lies, a crumpled pile of bloody feathers.
Sadness dwells in the eyes, a soul captive by earthen tethers.
Stretch out your broken wing,
To the dawn where you first did sing.
Collect your feathers your shattered bones.
Rejoice for dawn has come, sing out with an unborn tone.
Old black crow why did you leave me?
I want to be with you, and I want you to be free.
Old black crow open your crooked beak.
I want to feel guilty when I hear you speak.
I will lift your body from the cracks in the cold icy stone.
As I lower your broken form beneath the ground,
And lay to rest your legacy underneath a dirt mound.
I question every breath that escapes from my lungs.
We cannot change the past, what’s done cannot be made undone.
I'm so sorry for everything, everything I never told you.
If I could go back, I’d show your wings skies they never knew.
...Never knew.
Give us back the fire that we've lost.
Lay to rest the fears that haunt us most.
We cannot save those who are already dead.
The earth fills in the grave I’m in.
Who are we to live, and who are they to die?
They may not deserve life, but who are we to decide?
The earth fills in the grave I'm in.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
