Wings Wetted Down Lyrics
Flights of black horseman soar over churches
Pursued by an army of birds in the rain
None of them can see the clouds, the polished wings don't care
Animal ways through the hazy dreams full of pain
Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground
It all turns around, in the end
The voices sound deadly, sometimes I hear
Echoes of empires, spread throughout the sky
Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground
It all turns around, in the end
Flights of black horseman soar over churches
Pursued by an army of birds in the rain
Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground
It all turns around, in the end
Pursued by an army of birds in the rain
None of them can see the clouds, the polished wings don't care
Animal ways through the hazy dreams full of pain
It all turns around, in the end
The voices sound deadly, sometimes I hear
Echoes of empires, spread throughout the sky
It all turns around, in the end
Pursued by an army of birds in the rain
Wings wetted down, stumbling on the ground
It all turns around, in the end

I've just noticed that the verse of this song is virtually identical to that of Neil Young's "Words (Between the Lines of Age)", the last song on his 1972 album "Harvest". I guess the Bouchard brothers must have been fans -- the resemblance is too close to be a coincidence.
This is about the four horsemen and the end of the world!!!
@internalnoise did you confirm that with members of BOC?

I think this song is about a Nazi fighter pilot being pursued by Allied planes in England during WWII, crashing on the ground because the clouds are too think to see it.
