La Dispute – Future Wars Lyrics 14 years ago
Crows, wipe the blood from the end of your claws. said the vulture, Lets gather like storms for the war. Crows, as the night turns its skin into coal, Dark as corpses but cluttered with gold. They will label you thieves, wolves, and whores but you are nothing less than angels, cast down and covered in black.
Interpretation: Crows are society and the friendliness of society. Vultures are those in society who lead everyone to point and laugh. The couple in question were only doing the action because they thought they were ready, but they were laughed at by society and it ruined their relationship.

Aint this the bloodiest mess in the world? said the virgin, a torn little girl.
Boy, you went and made a sweet wreck of my soul, and Ive already forgiven you.
Interpretation: They had sex; She was a virgin; She blames him for the society laughing and bashing her; something like this had happened in the past and she had forgiven him.

And blood was running down
Her dress in streams into her hands where she
Was stitching on the flesh hed left
In sections on the carpet near a bed
(Loss of virginity possibility of heart being torn out of chest/heartbreak)
that
Never slept while she was sleeping
In her clothes that he had laid with on
The floor with all his fingers crossed
In hoping that that distance
(Distance of the lovers being close)
Wouldnt grow.
But how it grew,(Grew further apart)
And how it hurt,(heartbreak on his side)
And how it hallowed every memory hed
Never felt was threatened by a thing the world(Possiblities of cops?)
Could conjure up to kill them, but he let it kill them
What a bunch of fools we lovers are.(Thought of being ready is in question, but its too late)
And now shes smiling, with her self put back together, just a shadow of the past before the war.(She moved on)
All sewn together, like a city sick from storms and sick of waiting for a god to call the floods out of her home.
what a bunch of fools we lovers are
when tempted by the taste of flesh.
(Truth, we are influenced by flesh, sex, love, romance, and other actions)


"my boy, you are nothing more than a thief and a whore in a suit of the finest of armor." laughed the vulture.
"pathetic little child, i am embarrassed for you."
(again, vulture is a leader of society that is pointing and laughing as the crows feed, but now the vulture is just shaking his head in shame of the boy because the pointing and laughing is getting old) Possibility of the boy being a boy a player, just being good with words and promises for love;sex;etc
