The Crowing Lyrics
I fed the clues of a lost day killed in motion
But I thought of it so like there's no other way it could've been done
Will they size my fit for a puzzle I wish not to play a part in it.
A heart stained in hate, a feeling of fear will play circles.
But you, you were my favorite
But you, you know, you were my favorite
I severed my ties to shroud this body under the streets of this city
And wait for the day when I am summoned to walk across the face
Well, slowly but clearer now, in visions that play and plague memories
I loved them with all as the son should to mother and father
But you, you were my favorite
But you, you know, you were my favorite
Would I walk through the door, shedding the light of all life?
With the rise and reform, would I come as before?
Pray you're not the only one
Pray you're not the only...
If given mistakes, would I take them back?
If erasing them could, if erasing them would
But would they be the words that I would say?
Your face and a door between
I've parted three ways
For you, the Newo that I love... love...
Did you ever really know before my face shamed to break?
Did you ever really know before my mind scared to think?
Did you ever really know before my name son to these?
Did you, did you, did you come clean in the end from the start?
Dear Ambellina, the Prise wishes you to watch over me
Dear Ambellina, the Prise wishes you to watch over me
I fought the decisions that call and lost
My mark has the revelant piece in this
I will come reformed
In short, for the murders of those I court
I bless the hour that holds your fall
I will kill you all!!
I will call you out from shelter (I will call you out)
burn your wings you'll know no better (burn your wings)
I will call you out from shelter (I will call you out)
burn your wings and learn their letters (burn your wings)
I will call you out from shelter (Dear Ambellina, the Prise wishes you to watch over me)
burn your wings you'll know no better (burn your wings)
I will call you out from shelter (Dear Ambellina...) (I will call you out)
burn your wings and learn their letters (...to watch over me)

This track is about Claudio (the lead singers first name, but in the song's context he's a character that's a part of a narrative interwoven throughout the bands songs). Claudio in this song finds out he is the crowing (the savior). He's left everyone he's loved behind including Ambellina (his guardian). He is starting to understand his powers more now but he doesn't understand why he's been chosen. He's scared & now knows what he can do but doesn't know how.
So since this is all part of a sci-fi story its hard to interperte jsut one song, because they all fit together. Claudio, the son of coheed and cambria is just waking up from a long sleep, i dont know if he knows wheather or not his parents are dead yet. He is in love with ikkon newo, (nikki owen) But i dont know if he fell in love with her in his sleep. Also when he wakes up he has a fairy gardian (ambellina) and i dont think he is burning her wings as an evil thing, i think it may be a way to make her more powerful or more human. and i think it was her who told him about his parents deaths, and the battle that had taken place. He is split three ways i think between the love for ikkon, the revenge he seeks for his parents, and im not sure what the thrid is. feel free to add or correct.
well, the girl he loves is named newo ikkin and the burn your wings thing has nothing to do with ambellina, he is talking to the people who killed his parents. basically saying "when i find you, ill call you out, bring you down from the pedastel on which you hold yourself, and then youll know better than to mess with me"....in a nutshell...
the burn your wings has everything to do with ambelina. ambelina was a prise that was cast out of the sisterhood in order to protect claudio. her wings and hair were burnt off, making her no longer a prise, but still more than human. but like eternityawaits said, here wings weren't burnt off as a punishment, but just as a way to seperate her from the rest of the prise.

this song leaves me speechless every time. The instrumental breakdowns are unreal...and the whole "Dear Ambellina" ending is so powerful. Brilliance
I dont think the :burn your wings" has anything to do with burning her/its wings. I think it is simbolizing her turning in to a uman to watch over him and inform him of his parents death. BTW, I read that she turns into a human at the Co Ca message board. Yall should check it out. www.coheedandcambria.com
you guys got it. Ambellina was sent by the Prise to become a human and watch over Claudio. she tells him what has happened and what he has to do. the 3 ways are: returning to Newo, saving the universe, and giving up on life and letting everything fade to dust. Claudio is the last hope for the universe.
ambellina....that's a beautiful name. and so is this song. Is it wrong that I listen to the songs and love them regardless of the story they tell?
No. It's not wrong. I'm the same way. I can just sit back and listen without even thinking about what they mean.
this song is one of the easier ones to understand... kinda... anyway i love the end of this song =) now thanks to this site i know something of what goes on in each song... i just can't seem to string them all together. what is this about claudio falling asleep?
