Commander of the Crows

Cast out, undesirable I was all alone I didn't do a thing to lose The ones I called my own As I lingered in the road Crows would watch me wander so Knowing eyes were not surprised That I was never going home From the teachers and the principal And all the children too From the doctors at the hospital And everyone I knew From the statues at the church And the demons down below Over those bleak years I got the name Commander of the crows Cast out, undesirable Murder on the roof We had a lot in common And we had a lot to prove Drops of blood beneath the moon Fell upon a secret rune With my army close behind me It was time to make a move With the mercy of a predator We pierced the fearless night Then the morning was the messenger Who saw us all in flight Now the ones who broke my heart And who pulled my world apart Only hopelessly recall the name Commander of the crows
