about

High above the greasy vermin-infested streets of the Park reside the Murder of Crows; aloof and unaffected by the inescapable surveillance and tyrannic oppression of the Corruptor and its vampire patrols. While the walking dead lost souls feel the crushing boot of their totalitarian overlords upon their necks, the Crows view all with the remove ironic detachment.

lyrics

cities burn far below us
from vantage points on high
among the barren graveyard trees and unkempt silent tombs
we left that world behind us
our cabal of the night
we gather in the bleak and rotting cemetery gloom
a world of ever-blackness
cloaked in eternal dread
we sit and wait watching the violence and chaos unseen
we rotten leper princes
we watchers in the dark
wait for the flames to dim and
pick the fallen corpses clean
born aloft on tattered wings of midnight black
the world beneath us burns we scoff and watch it decompose
you can rot down there amongst the carrion
not us
we own the dark we own the night we are a murder of crows
above the weak and weary
of this cadaver world
we pick off vampires and mindless walking living dead
we are the equalizers
we keep the streets so clean
aristocrats shrouded in black feed off the dead and the diseased
(in this decaying world we are the carrion kings)
