[Verse]
Black wings cut through the twilight air
A lonely cry lingers
But no one's there
Shadows dance on my cigarette's glow
How deep this darkness? I’ll never know
[Chorus]
Oh the black birds they sing
They sing of sorrow
Stealing today
Leaving no tomorrow
Feathers falling like ash in the night
I’m losing this fight
I’m losing this fight
[Verse 2]
Whiskey whispers in an empty glass
Promises broken
They never last
Needles and veins
They tell the truth
A story carved deep
Stealing my youth
[Prechorus]
The stars are hiding
Even they won’t stay
The black birds circle
They know their prey
[Chorus]
Oh the black birds they sing
They sing of sorrow
Stealing today
Leaving no tomorrow
Feathers falling like ash in the night
I’m losing this fight
I’m losing this fight
[Bridge]
Tell me where the light goes
Does it drown in the black
Does it hide in the wings
Or will it ever come back
I hear the blues in the silence
The scream in the still
And I’m climbing
But I’m rolling back down the hill
