[00:00.00]Rooks - Shearwater
[00:30.77]When the rooks were laid in the piles
[00:34.18]By the sides of the road
[00:36.30]
[00:40.05]Crashing into the aerials
[00:42.99]Tangled in the laundry lines
[00:45.24]
[00:48.93]And gathered in a field
[00:50.68]They were burned in a feathering pyre
[00:55.00]
[00:58.99]With their cold black eyes
[01:02.68]
[01:04.12]When the swallows fell from the eaves
[01:07.81]And the gulls from the spires
[01:11.62]
[01:13.24]The starlings  in millions
[01:15.50]Would feed on the ground where they lie
[01:18.68]
[01:22.18]The ambulance men said
[01:24.18]There's nowhere to flee for your life
[01:29.80]
[01:32.25]So we stay inside
[01:36.57]
[01:37.51]And we'll sleep until the world of man is paralyzed
[01:45.47]
[02:13.05]Oh  the falconer awakes to the sound of the bells
[02:18.68]
[02:21.38]Overhead and southbound
[02:25.57]They are leaving his life
[02:27.19]
[02:30.70]And each empty cage just rings in his heart like a bell
[02:37.20]
[02:39.07]Underneath these cold stars
[02:41.94]
[02:43.07]In this trembling light  and he cries
[02:49.94]Amen  let their kingdom come tonight
[02:53.13]
[02:56.57]Let this dream be realized
