Old Crows Lyrics
Old crows ride in the mouth of the beast
Sleep beneath its tongue, cradled by it's teeth
We roam from shore to shore
From the open sky, to the ocean floor
The more we move, the less we are ourselves
And when we finally stop, we've changed to something else
As rapid as a river flows
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil's grin
Our blood is cold and we've shed our skin
Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
The crows are calling - seems the end is near
They're spelling out their names, yet we have no fear
Oh, the damage a man can do
When ambition takes over his search for the truth
Sometimes life just gets the best of us
Some things in life will get the best of us
Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
Every skyline beats in my chest
Somewhere between love and sadness
This is our fate, this is our test
We ride in the mouth of madness
As rapid as a river flows
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil's grin
Our blood is cold and we've shed our skin
Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
Sleep beneath its tongue, cradled by it's teeth
We roam from shore to shore
From the open sky, to the ocean floor
The more we move, the less we are ourselves
And when we finally stop, we've changed to something else
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil's grin
Our blood is cold and we've shed our skin
Stop wishing for yesterday
They're spelling out their names, yet we have no fear
Oh, the damage a man can do
When ambition takes over his search for the truth
Sometimes life just gets the best of us
Some things in life will get the best of us
Stop wishing for yesterday
Somewhere between love and sadness
This is our fate, this is our test
We ride in the mouth of madness
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil's grin
Our blood is cold and we've shed our skin
Stop wishing for yesterday

It seems to me that the song is about how lifes changes you and makes you "tougher", how you forget about yourself, and when you chek you are sombody else.
Song is about how they changed their sound and how events in life change you, "we are not the kids we used to be Stop wishing for yesterday" Alexisonfire changed up their sound to be more punk and some fans aren't happy with it.
Thats what I was thinking, while Alexisonfire used to be more haunting and generally a little more neutral, they now have released a very social-injustice style, politically charged album. Love this song :)

I think Waveburner is right. The song is saying that they changed their sound, that they don't sound like they used to (they're not the foolish kids they used to be), and that the fans should get over that, instead of complaining about it (stop wishing for yesterday).
alexisonfire was always punk! WATERWINGS?
