This is an amazing version of a traditional ballad about two carrion crows contemplating eating a newly slain knight and actually bothering to try to justify it to themselves by saying no one will know or care that the knight is missing, not even the knight's hawk or dog. I think it also seems to be a metaphor for creepy opportunistic human vultures who are always seeking to benefit from the misfortune of others. But at least the guy is already dead in this case.
