So, they just posted the final mix of the song on their myspace. Here are correct lyrics (I think...):
Filthy Bird Laying on our lawn
4 chambered heart never beat so heart
Dad said she was almost gone
Upside down out on our lawn
And I could hold her in a shoe box
if she heals she could be mine
and if I can not save her spirit
Dad says I should break her spine
Shaking brilliant, silver black wings
Jesus Christ what prayers these dare sing (?)
Wear your hearts out on your sleaves
for starlings, starlings
All the least of all of these are
Starlings, starlings
Two years pass I pump the chamber
full of air to shoot the birds
harmless game to hit them slightly
Scare them off in other words
Stalling, falling to her death
Piercing copper steals her breath
See the flower in her breast (?)
starving babies in her nest
Raise our souls up to the sky
Why must helpless creatures die?
Every breath, has sacred weight
Every life has some design
Yet we kill and posess faith (?)
Speak of life, while taking grace
So, yea, not too sure about a couple words. Looking forward to the release! This song is awesome and seems to be about... well the bridge says it best. We understand the preciousness of life but disregard it all the time. Like understanding the great value and expense of our salvation and the love of God but yet we sin against him all the time. Peace.
