A tribute to the birds in the local cemetary, who themselves tribute Hammer Horror films every night.
Voodoo John is one half of Voodoo Sharks.
Story behind the song
Inspired by the crows from most Hammer films and the 70's play in the 'Beasts' series called 'Baby'.
Lyrics
A river so deep,
It cant unwind
I learned to speak - on the day I went blind
And all those around me, who use hate as reward
You'll see in his eyes
The three stages of pain
Theres one tear for the dying
and one for the slain,
He's got a friend in Jesus, he's got a friend in the Lord.
As the crow flies...
CHORUS
See him rise up with a blistering curtain of night
Hear the deep dark lament of his brothers become an encompassing sight
See the black pit of hate boil over as legion is fleeing the trees
With your mother, her lover and sisters all spreading this painful disease
As the crow flies (x2)
When i say dont hurt him,
Let these words be said
Theres a lot of men heard em
Theres a lot of men dead
They'll swing from the gallows, they swing from the trees
Protecting the tombstones
Of those gone before
They circle the lifeless, the blessed ones that we grieve
With a wing and a feather, buried deep underground
As the crow flies, don't make a sound
