VERSE 1 as heaven and hell dance in the afternoon we watch the sun surrender to the moon a housewife puts on make up to get noticed by her man no matter how much she hates it she must do it again smoke in the mirror and cynical drunks from now on you start taken your father´s drugs a small town boy scrapes the scars of his hand no matter how much he hates it he must do it again shadows fall words are mistaken love letters are burned and the past is forsaken people move on in a search for dry land no matter how much they hate it they must do it again when life on paper pulls us down by the wings and we simply don´t like the sound of things knowing we need to cross this line in the sand no matter how much we hate it we must do it again
CHORUS as the crow flies the wings cast shadows sleeping hallow as the crow flies straight in a perfect line
VERSE 2 the murder of crows black staircases dead flowers are pressed between blank pages a young city girl has to take a firm stand no matter how much she hates it she must do it again digging a ditch by the low side of the road tire swing by the lake and a broken milestone a man who protects and serves brings down a friend no matter how much he hates it he must do it again navigating the sidewalks blood gets spilled days run away like wild horses over the hills things backfire people need to rethink their plans no matter how much they hate it they must do it again relying on a sack of religion after the downfall frame my agony and hang it on the wall the path I take is often chosen by life's demands no matter how much I hate it I must do it again
