about

“Where do the living go when the guardians take them by the hand? Where do the crows fly?
Were do all the dead ones go? It may well be that the sky can become me. As I become sky."

lyrics

Whatever you do you will fall
Whatever you feel I'm not that far away
(I'm not that far away)
(as the crow flies)
(I'm not that far away)
(as the crow flies)
(I'm not that far away)
(as the crow flies)

As the crow flies is the long way around
(I'll meet you on the other side where all the dead crows go)

Come make me into sky
Show me all of your scars
Show me where the crow flies
Tell me where the dead ones go

Come make me into sky
Drown me in stars
Show me where the crow flies
Take me where the dead go

When everyone's a shadow in this land
And every face is carved and stained by pain
(we're not that far from dead)
(as the crow flies)
(we're not that far from dead)
(as the crow flies)
(we're not that far from dead)
(as the crow flies)

As the crow flies is the hard way to die
(Always alone)
(let the crops burn make your body learn)
(as the crow flies)
(we're not that far from dead

Come make me into sky
Show me all of your scars
Show me where the crow flies
Tell me where the dead ones go

Come make me into sky
Drown me in stars
Show me where the crow flies
Take me where the dead go

Come make me into sky
Drown me in stars
Show me where the crow flies
Take me where the dead go

Where do spirits go
when there's no heaven
there's no place to rest your soul
Where do living go
when there's no wanting there's no need
and there's no goal
Watch out that steel contains your mind
and every thought will burrow down 'til they take you

Come the Guardian
Take you by the hand
Come the Guardian
Take you by the hand
Come the Guardian
Take you by the hand
Come the Guardian
Take you by the hand

Where ever you go your gonna fall your gonna fall
Whomever you love All those that you love will go
(to that place)
(where all the dead ones go)
(go tend your scars go)
(as the crow flies)

Come make me into sky
Show me all of your scars
Show me where the crow flies
Tell me where the dead ones go

Come make me into sky
Drown me in stars
Show me where the crow flies
Take me - Take me home
