about

Words inspired by Ted Hughes book The Life and Songs of the Crow
Music inspired by the John Cale album Hobo Sapien

lyrics

The first born
The darkness rent
First she made the crow
The weight of claws
The branches bent
First she made the crow

Land of pain
Not far from here
A poisoned word
In a father's ear
First she made the crow

First she made the crow

And still we make
Our little plans
As if we didn't know
First she made the crow

Down the ages
Spoilt for choice
Chaos feeds the crow
The victor's gun
The victim's voice
Calling down the crow

First she made the crow

The eye that pins
Your fear to you
You don't escape
You're a hostage too

First she made the crow

And still we flirt
And still we laugh
As if we didn't know
First she made the crow
