stormbirds drifting on a pool at rest
then come waves they just can't crest
once they're in the air it's a search for the kill
thinking "if i don't do it someone else will"
till the war mandate's fulfilled
[Chorus:]
woah can you see
can you see the flying
they look to be the same breed
but they can't stop fighting
flying in the night under enemy sights
looking for a target in a blind firefight --
what's at the end of the road?
for blackbirds vs. crows
let's go down to the shipyard
pcik through the hulks for a while
see if we can find some kings and queens
down there in the discard pile
they let their foes prevail
they let their battlements break
children learn to keep your finger on the trigger
stay ready to make that big mistake
[Chorus]
i think there's got to be more to this life than kill or be killed
[Chorus]
