Black Dove
black dove wont bring messages of peace
but leaves nightmares for you to keep
flits her wings, begins to fly
watches as the others die
black dove brings messages of death
count to ten and hold your breath
brings sorrow into worldly lives
and watches as the others die
steel beak and black wings
knows only of one thing to bring
doesnt know the word survive
while she watches as the others die
comes tragically, yet makes no sound
stills the wind and breaks the ground
forgotten what it means to cry
as she leaves the others while they die
