Song Of The Blackest Bird Lyrics - Insomnium

Far above the darkling world 

Soars the blackest bird 

Far above the darkling world 

It sings the saddest song 

(And those who hear its cry...) 

Those who hear it will go astray 

Those who hear it will wither away 

And nothing besides they hear 

Nothing besides they think anymore 

And they will turn away from the sun 

And they will turn against themselves 

At the midmost night 

Each midmost night 

Upon Death's palm 

The bird will rest a while 

And gently Death will speak 

Softly Death will hum and whisper: 

"Fly again my bird, fly again over the world" 

Those who hear it will bow their heads 

Those who hear it will find no rest 

And black as a dream is now their way 

For into the shades they all shall fade
