| I sat in a motel room with the doctor |
| Just before we were supposed to sing |
| He said regarding this guardian wing |
| This black and clipped misshapen thing |
| Hobbling on from claw to ring |
| Hung upside down and cawing |
| Pecking at carrion of the fallen |
| Battalion |
| Thawing |
| On frozen mooring |
| Blackbird in a crust no more |
| They fell down 4 and 20 |
| Bloodstained the land of want and plenty |
| Now raven standing at his shoulder |
| Stared with eyes of molten solder |
| Dripping on a lacquer box |
| Introducing keys to locks |
| Seven talents there where hidden |
| Mysterious and some forbidden |
| Take the honey from the comb |
| Ravel thread around the loom |
| Dig the dirt up from the tomb |
| Dr. Watson, I presume |
| One will follow |
| Two unknown sorrow |
| Three for laughter |
| Four ever after |
| Five-foot flood when the waters hit |
| Six feet deep, the eternal pit |
| Seven prayers and seven pleas |
| To eight imagined deities |
| Cat o' nine tails |
| Cat of nine lives |
| Brides turned into old wives tales |
| Your complexion colours then it pales |
| And into the sunset it sails |
| Soon these secrets will be scattered |
| Heaven knows what lies inside |
| It took a moment to discover |
| A lifetime to decide |
