Intro :
There's a blackbird perc hed outside my window
I hear h im calling
I hear h im sing
He burns me with his ey es of coal to embers
He sees al l my sins
He read s my soul
One day t hat bird, he spok e to me
Like Mart in Luther, like Peri cles
Come jo in the murder
Come fl y with black
We'll g ive you freedom
From the human trap
Come jo in the murder
Soar o n my wi ngs
You'll touc h the han d of God
He'll mak e yo u king
He'll mak e yo u king
On a blanket ma de of woven shadows
Flew u p to heaven
On a rav en's glide
Thes e angels have turned my wings to wax now
I fell li ke Judas
From grac e tonight
One day t hat bird, he spok e to me
Like Mart in Luther, like Peri cles
Come jo in the murder
Come fl y with black
We'll g ive you freedom
From the human trap
Come jo in the murder
Soar o n my wi ngs
You'll touc h the han d of God
He'll mak e yo u king
He'll mak e yo u king
I walk among the child ren of my fathers
The br oken wings
Betraya l's cost
The y call to me, but neve r touch my heart now
I am t oo far
I'm t oo lost
One day t hat bird, he spok e to me
Like Mart in Luther, like Peri cles
Come jo in the murder
Come fl y with black
We'll g ive you freedom
From the human trap
Come jo in the murder
Soar o n my wi ngs
You'll touc h the han d of God
He'll mak e yo u king
He'll mak e yo u king
