lyrics

When I die, let me face toward the sky
When I'm gone, let me feed the wolf inside
Here I wait to know my fate
And I know the way, the path, the hate

As I pass through the valley of bones, a barren land of no hope, the sun has carved a scar upon its face

Underneath the wailing star, I took the oath to know your ways
I shall follow the river of sand toward the south for all my days
See the mountains rise, where the skies give way to kindred's might
And the black-beaked crow cries a warning of oncoming night

Give your bones to the mountain, give your soul to the starving earth
But leave my body to the crows
Underneath the wailing star, I took the oath to know your ways
Brighter still the flower of life may grow away from the sun
An old darkness arise, a new light has come

Leave my body to the crows
Leave my body to the crows

Transform from corpse to crow
Transform from corpse to crow
Like a snake silent, they move as one
Upon my body they circle round
As I transform into flesh
The earth releases my soul
Transform from corpse to crow; I leave the soil
To circle high above

Speaks so sadly of life that I cannot wait to get to the end
Cold winds blow in the face of hope
Eastward comes the fire, it will not hold
Even deathly silence cannot control the spinning wheels of time

This is my mountain; no green hill of life
Leave my body to the crows
