lyrics

You remain a constant
Source of hope
As I entertain
A metre’s worth of rope

We can all keep swinging
From the same sorry branch
The writers and their hunters
One big blood bath

When we’re standing on the edge
Not repaid what we owed
The remnants of what is left
Will be ravens and crows

From the door in the basement
Where you’re not supposed to go
To the well in the garden
Where the bad ones get thrown

We can all keep swinging
From the same sorry branch
Or we can chop off the head
And not give it back

When we’re standing on the edge
Not repaid what we owed
The remnants of what is left
Will be ravens and crows

Ravens and crows
Ravens and crows
Ravens and crows
Ravens and crows

(Organ)

When we’re standing on the edge
Not repaid what we owed
The remnants of what is left
Will be ravens and crows
Oh no.
