Old Crows Lyrics

Cover art for Old Crows lyrics by Alexisonfire

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

(They're the RIGHT lyrics.)
