patron saint of bridge burners - i'll take you with me lyrics
yesterday i saw a shiny bird gleaming in the sky. it was silent as a whisper; the strangest bird i’ve ever seen. its beak was long and pointed, and it barely flapped its wings. yesterday i saw a shiny bird; its claws were razor thin, a giant silver vulture just a+waitin’ to descend and feast upon the carrion. today i saw the bird again a mile in the sky. it was too far to see, but it must have opened wide and…and spat out other little birds that circled ’round like predators closing in on something on the ground; their eyes were red with fire
today i watched my father scr+pe the carrion off the walls. the little birds make corpses and the big birds eat them all. today i saw another bird, perhaps the same one that spat out the little birds that spat the flames and shrapnel that reduced that girl to shreds so the birds could take the shreds to the babies in their nests
the rest is for the history books, for your children to ask why it took so many shiny birds gleaming in the sky to feed so few too+hungry mouths, and why children like them had to die. you can send as many metal birds with as many little birds inside, filled to the brim with as much h+ll and fire as you desire; as many as it takes to k!ll the ones who survived, but rest assured, i’ll take you with me
