The Crows
[Intro]
"Oh my God"
*Crying*
"Help me"

[Verse 1: Monoxide Child]
I can hear 'em whisper my name (cirtcelE)
I can feel 'em watch me every now and again
I watch 'em float along the clouds, hunt for blood stains
My soul's almost out, and he can only see the pain (eriW)
Wings spread on the perch they sit
Conversatin' with the Devil on some "who's next?" shit (em htiw emoC)
I feel the spirits rise when the black birds fly
When it's time to die, only the crows know why (em gnihctaW)

[Verse 2: Shaggy 2 Dope]
Twelve o' clock on the dot, my blood runs cold
Pierce, engaged through the window, got me in a choke hold ([?])
Visions of death, pinnacle sacrifice
And the ultimate price of takin' my own life (sutoL eht dloH)
Beady yellow eyes that seem see right through me
Talkin' to me, the beyond consumes me
The black crow takes my thought's and plants seeds
The black crow plants his feet and oversees (won sutoL ehT)

[Chorus]
Our Father of Shangri-La, hallow be thy name
If the world turns over, save me from the fire rain
Keep me pure, keep me clean, as the Lotus grows
I ask you for forgiveness, keep me from the crows
[Verse 3: Jamie Madrox]
Black feathers, black eye', black wings (nevaR)
Perched atop the cemetery gating
Waiting for me, recording my moves
Used to be one, now there are two (me' fo htoB)
A couple, waiting to pick at my soul
And bring me back to the one in control
The faster I run, they still give chase (gnihctaW)
Will they leave me if I reveal my Holy Cross face? ([?])

[Verse 4: Violent J]
Black blood, (Yes) within the raven
Have I been forgaven?
A haven, of crows, watching, squawking
Drifting above me, hawking
What lies beneath its eyes?
Who's guiding it as it flies?
When the red moon bleeds, it feeds
Fulfilling its needs

[Chorus]
Our Father of Shangri-La, hallow be thy name
If the world turns over, save me from the fire rain
Keep me pure, keep me clean, as the Lotus grows
I ask you for forgiveness, keep me from the crows
[Bridge]
Our Father of Shangri-La, hallow be thy name
If the world turns over, save me from the fire rain
(niar erif eht morf em evas ,revo snrut dlrow eht fI)
Keep me pure, keep me clean, as the Lotus grows
(eman yht eb wollah ,aL-irgnahS fo rehtaF ruO)
I ask you for forgiveness, keep me from the crows
(sworc eht morf em peek ,ssenevigrof rof uoy ksa I)

[Verse 5]
[Monoxide Child]
Am I marked for death? Do they want my last breath?
Do they really want me dead so my soul will resurrect?
I can't help it, ([?]) prayin' to the Gods above
Purify my soul, change the crows to doves ([?])
[Shaggy 2 Dope]
Wings spread out, and they cover my soul
Death's voice rings out and spreads through my mentals
In through my mind and down my spine
I'm a moment's to dead and the crows are on the mind
[Violent J]
(em ees nac yehT) Midnight, sunrise, sunfall
Crows beacon, Pharaos call
My blood, hot, dripping
Crow wings I'm clipping, snipping ([?])
[Jamie Madrox]
I will never be afraid in the eye's of the dead ([?])
In my trench coat pocket, there's a severed crows head
I look it's neck to see what they can see
I will finally come to grips, they will always be around me
[Outro]
Our Father of Shangri-La, hallow be thy name
If the world turns over, save me from the fire rain
(sworg sutoL eht sa ,naelc em peek ,erup em peeK)
Keep me pure, keep me clean, as the Lotus grows
(niar erif eht morf em evas ,revo snrut dlrow eht fI)
I ask you for forgiveness, keep me from the crows
(eman yht eb wollah ,aL-irgnahS fo rehtaF ruO)
Our Father of Shangri-La, hallow be thy name
If the world turns over, save me from the fire rain
Keep me pure, keep me clean, as the Lotus grows
I ask you for forgiveness, keep me from the crows
