Blackbird Pie
{intro]
[Verse]
A Hollow Cause
The shepherds whistle
A well trodden path
The Scottish thistle
A virgin bride
The lonely widow
A jagged knife
Her blood soaked pillow
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Her tattered dress
An ivory handle
A chalk outline
The melted candle
A half chewed apple
A pile of cans
The shattered bottle
His blood soaked hands
[Interlude]
[Verse]
An abandoned shack
The broken sty
A field of pigs
The blackbird pie
A rusted gate
The raven's cry
The scent of smoke
A cast iron alibi
[Interlude]
The barren field
The hunters axe
The strontium clouds
Their footprint tracks
The strontium clouds
Their footprint tracks
The strontium clouds
Their footprint tracks
[Outro]
