Текст песни Rooks (Extended Mix) - Danko

When the rooks were laid in piles by the side of the road
Crashed into the aisles, tangled in the laundry lines
And gutter in the field, they were burning the feather in pyres
With their coal black eyes
When the swallows fell from the eaves and the ghosts from the spires
The starlings in the millions would feed on the ground where they lie
The ambulance man said there's nowhere to flee for your lives
So they stayed inside

And would sleep until the word of the man is paralysed

Oh, the falcon he awakes to the sound of the bells
Overhead in the suburb, they're leaving us light
And each empty cage is a ring in his heart like a bell
Underneath his cold scars, in this trembling night
And he cries, "Oh my love, the kingdom come tonight
Let this dream be realised"

And would sleep until the word of the man is paralysed
