Cry Like Birds Lyrics - Masquerade

Funereal bells toll in thickening silence 

Only statues listen to warfare sirens 

It's a sickening curse 

Altars cry like birds 

For a hungering hearse 

Altars cry like birds 

Like birds 

Have you ever heard? 

Altars crying like birds 

Tormenting thirst, halo of shrieking birds 

Pecking off features, pecking flesh in turns 

CHORUS 

Sing to your sisters, your brothers are dead... 

Shh, won't you listen 

As bells toll once again 

Kingpins are eaten 

Silence left us insane
