stormbirds drifting on a pool at rest   then come waves they just can't crest   once they're in the air it's a search for the kill   thinking "if i don't do it someone else will"   till the war mandate's fulfilled      [Chorus:]   woah can you see   can you see the flying   they look to be the same breed   but they can't stop fighting   flying in the night under enemy sights   looking for a target in a blind firefight --   what's at the end of the road?   for blackbirds vs. crows      let's go down to the shipyard   pcik through the hulks for a while   see if we can find some kings and queens   down there in the discard pile   they let their foes prevail   they let their battlements break   children learn to keep your finger on the trigger   stay ready to make that big mistake      [Chorus]      i think there's got to be more to this life than kill or be killed      [Chorus]
