For The Swarm Lyrics

One of my favorites on the Feathers and Flesh album. According to Johannes, the Bees (featured in this song) exist for the hive. They look at themselves as part of something greater, unlike both The Owl and The Eagle, who exist only for themselves. I especially like the line "Thousand knights unsee the sin" referring to (IMO) the idea that the bees ignore the folly of both The Owl and The Eagle and work for the greater good.
