lyrics

Let us speak
Of the strong and weak
Of flight and appetite
And hawks that hunt

Let us speak
Of rabbits that shriek
And blossoms of blood
Flowering in the air

Open up the sky
We float
A congress of assassins
Ruled by passions
And the politics of hunger

Let us speak
Of talon and beak
Unfastening flesh
From mortal mooring

Open up the sky
We float
A congress of assassins
Ruled by passions
And the politics of hunger

Let us speak
Of the thrill and kill
Hush and flush
Of a covey of quail
Let us speak
Of the mighty and meek
The slash and flash
Of beating wing
A bird of prey won't sing

Let us speak
Of that which we seek
You fly or die
On thermals of fear

Open up the sky
We float
A congress of assassins
Ruled by passions
And the politics of hunger
