When the Birds Lie Dead Lyrics


We abandon clemancy

Embracing our malevolence

Only when the birds lie dead

Will a smile return to this face

Trust given to you is ever misplaced

I perceive the negative in your parlance

I'd rather your silence to your counsel

I'd favour your absence to your pity

Crouched in the corner

Embracing itself in a picture of weakness

A broken, disgraceful display

Howling out and milking the tears

You demand of us

With elusive intent

Filthy your constant demur

Brace for our impious war

Only when the birds lie dead

Will a smile return to this face
