Song Of The Blackest Bird

Far above the darkling world
 Soars the blackest bird
 Far above the darkling world
 It sings the saddest song
 And those who hear its cry
 ♪
 Those who hear it will go astray
 Those who hear it will wither away
 And nothing besides they hear
 Nothing besides they think anymore
 They will turn
 They will turn
 Turn away
 From the sun
 They will turn
 They will turn
 Turn against
 Against themselves
 At the midmost night
 Each midmost night
 Upon Death's palm
 The bird will rest a while
 And gently Death will speak
 Softly Death will hum and whisper
 "Fly again my bird, fly again over the world"
 At the midmost night
 Each midmost night
 Upon Death's palm
 The bird will rest a while
 And gently Death will speak
 Softly Death will hum and whisper
 "Fly again my bird, fly again over the world"
 Fly again
 Fly over the world
 ♪
 Those who hear it will bow their heads
 Those who hear it will find no rest
 And black as a dream is now their way
 For into the shades they all shall fade
 They will turn
 They will turn
 Turn away
 From the sun
 They will turn
 They will turn
 Turn against
 Against themselves
 At the midmost night
 Each midmost night
 Upon Death's palm
 The bird will rest a while
 And gently Death will speak
 Softly Death will hum and whisper
 "Fly again my bird, fly again over the world"
 At the midmost night
 Each midmost night
 Upon Death's palm
 The bird will rest a while
 And gently Death will speak
 Softly Death will hum and whisper
 "Fly again my bird, fly again over the world"
 Far above the darkling world
 Soars the blackest bird
 Far above the darkling world
 ♪
 It sings the saddest song
