paroles de chanson Birds - Beau

Come you who ask of me
All of your questions and your answers
Your poets and your painters
Your singers and your dancers
On stages lit by lanterns
The shadows of the candle
Unfolding in the alleys
Leading to the greater scandal
And somehow through the din, someone sings
A song of a million wings

Follow the swallow, after the eagle
After the magpie, after the starling
After the kestrel, after the sparrow
After the bluebird, after the heron
After the gannet, after the puffin
After the penguin
Follows the lemming

Come sane and sane together
The starling in your reason
That makes you follow blindly
On the leader of the season
Will take you through the blackness
That is flapping all around you
And take you through your senses
And finally confound you
And land you where you did not wish to go
And talk to you in words you do not know

Follow the swallow, after the eagle
After the magpie, after the starling
After the kestrel, after the sparrow
After the bluebird, after the heron
After the gannet, after the puffin
After the penguin
Follows the lemming

Come you who light the candles
Like no one ever lit them
Who fashion cloaks for guilty men
And fashion men to fit them
Whose guarantee of profit
Is the price of every silence
Whose livelihood is diarising
Cruelty and violence
Let he who goes guiltless throw the stone
Let those who falsely witness, go home

Follow the swallow, after the eagle
After the magpie, after the starling
After the kestrel, after the sparrow
After the bluebird, after the heron
After the gannet, after the puffin
After the penguin
Follows the lemming
