Black Feathers of Evil
As the clock strikes midnight
And theirs a full moon in the sky
Before the darkness descended
They await to fly
They walk among us
You would never know they were there
If you look deep into their eyes
Be attracted to their stare
For once we have committed
We become one of them
Our skin begins to fade
As we enter their deep condemn
We enter metamorphosis
Their instant evolution
Black feathers emanate from us
Bodies in revolution
From the ground we stand
We appear in the trees
Ravens all of us
We become their black decree
We fly with the night
Looking for places to land
For in our dark sight
Our victims already planned
A solitary house on the hillside
Awaits the dark from the night
As we feel the fear from the insiders
We are intrepid in our fright
We crash through the windows
Consternation is all around
Our beaks peck their flesh
Bloodied in their surround
Our feeding frenzy over
Leaving our victims in despair
We can't attract them as followers
For they have no eyes to stare
