lyrics

The birds of winter took him home, again
Against the wishes of the crowd’s outrage
Repair the damage and start a claim
For all the troubles that you’ve caused to them

It was the saddest of the nights
When the coldest of the winds
Brought the news back
Brought the news back Home

Let’s burn those witches just for fun and play
Take my advice and learn to play the game
Undo the clause you took one time and pray
Cause to my weaknesses you are a slave

It was the saddest of the nights
When the coldest of the winds
Brought the news back
Brought the news back Home

The birds of winter / the drops of sorrow
The birds of winter / the crops of summer
The birds of winter / took you home with them
The birds of winter

The birds of winter seek the pain with disdain
Towards the yearnings that their minds reject
The dreaded vultures infect the band with disgrace
To end the troubles that you’ve caused to them
