10 Crows

from Demos by Le Cos

lyrics

If sidewalk cracks could kill/Then I'd press them with my heels
If I could command black crows to caw/A murder of shadows like you never saw
Will drag you
Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
They'll drag you down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay

And there you'll stay
A cold carcass

Now I can drink and never get drunk
And you've had your fun at the young ladies' cost
But once I introduce Nancy Whiskey to you
I'll find you the next morn on the floor
With your body blue
She'll lead you

Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
Down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
She'll lead you down to the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay

And there you'll stay
A cold carcass

One crow for sorrow
Two crows for mirth
Three crows for a wedding
Four crows for a birth
Five crows for silver
And six crows for gold
Seven crows for a secret not to be told
Eight crows for heaven
Nine crows for hell
Ten crows for the devil
Satan's own self

Down with the dead dead
Down with the dead men you'll lay
And there you'll stay
A cold carcass

The eight-piece ensemble has been described by De La Vie TV as “the best band you’ve never heard of” with “one of the best live shows that will leave you watching in awe.” ... more
