Black Wings, Red Lips

(Crows cawing… heartbeat bass…)

Oh…

You really thought the monsters scared me?

Cute.

You built your castles in the mist

Drank your wine like stolen bliss

Thought your bloodline couldn’t fade

Now you choke on what you made

I died once beneath your hands

Now I haunt your poisoned lands

Bone-white feathers, razor grin

Baby, let the hunt begin

Every crow up in the sky

Knows another lord will die

Run run—

Here I come.

Black wings blocking out the sun.

Blood red lips.

Sharp black claws.

Baby, I don’t follow laws.

Tick-tock—

Hear that sound?

That’s your empire falling down.

You call yourselves immortal kings

Funny what a deathless girl can bring

I don’t need a silver knife

I just end eternal life

Every secret that you keep

Whispers loudly when you sleep

I can hear your heartbeat shake

Every time my feathers wake

Every bell begins to ring

When the black flock starts to sing

Run run—

Here I come.

Black wings blocking out the sun.

Blood red lips.

Sharp black claws.

Baby, I don’t follow laws.

Tick-tock—

Hear that sound?

That’s your empire falling down.

(Music cuts to heartbeat + soft strings)

You should’ve left me dead.

(Crow caw)

Now every time you hear wings overhead—

You panic.

I crossed death and came back pretty

Now I paint your kingdoms guilty

Every feather, every scream

Rips apart your perfect dream

I’m the omen in the night

The last thing you see before the bite

Run run—

Here I come.

Black wings blocking out the sun.

Blood red lips.

Sharp black claws.

Baby, I don’t follow laws.

Tick-tock—

Hear that sound?

That’s your empire falling down.

(Crows gathering…)

The flock is hungry tonight.
