Saline Grace - Blackbird lyrics

I'm a blackbird of broken wings A silent d**h between the rails An unseen pain on mother earth For a raging beast has ominously come Closing my beak and stealing my song Yes, a steam engine with boxcars and That blinded mankind in their cages Having my bloody feathers and my feet On these awfully iron wheels Once I was a blackbird of fluttering wings Carrying a holy message in my beak And all impatient wisdoms in a song For my breath had been given graciously Taking me down from my southern hills Yes, along the sickness of a muddy river Until I reached the realms of the human plan Singing from those trees of whisper to All the people from Stranger's Town Now I'm a blackbird of dead wings A mournful plumage, soaked by rain And the unheard wisdom of a song For my heart has been taken without concerns Sowing blind creatures and reaping their shades Yes, a scythe wielded by fateful delusion Blows the poisoned harvest into the land Bringing a last and lethal message To all blackbirds of fluttering wings
