stormbirds drifting on a pool at rest then come waves they just can't crest once they're in the air it's a search for the k** thinking "if i don't do it someone else will" till the war mandate's fulfilled [Chorus:] woah can you see can you see the flying they look to be the same breed but they can't stop fighting flying in the night under enemy sights looking for a target in a blind firefight -- what's at the end of the road?
for blackbirds vs. crows let's go down to the shipyard pcik through the hulks for a while see if we can find some kings and queens down there in the discard pile they let their foes prevail they let their battlements break children learn to keep your finger on the trigger stay ready to make that big mistake [Chorus] i think there's got to be more to this life than k** or be k**ed [Chorus]
