“A Murder of Crows” emerged from the darker corners of human emotion, specifically exploring themes of betrayal and vengeance. This song tells the story of a man pushed to the edge, confronting infidelity under the light of a silver moon. The crows, eerie and ever-watchful, serve as witnesses to the crime, adding layers of symbolism to the track.

It’s especially fitting for the Halloween season—so turn up the volume, and let the shadows creep in. The track’s tension builds as the story unfolds, pulling you deeper into the protagonist’s twisted fate.

While the tale may be dark, there’s a universal element in the emotion behind it. “A Murder of Crows” taps into those moments of heartbreak, betrayal, and the overwhelming desire for justice. It’s about facing the darkest parts of ourselves when we’ve been wronged. I hope listeners can connect with the story and feel the intensity of the emotions I poured into this track.

Lyrics
A MURDER OF CROWS
Verse 1
There’s a murder of crows surrounding my home
As the silver moon shines and the shadows creep on
And I hear their whispers, and I hear their woes
When I enter your room, you lay with someone
You didn’t know, didn’t care, did not expect me that soon
As the silver moon shines and the shadows creep on
My heart is pounding, he is pounding your holes
As the silver moon shines there’s a murder of crows
Chorus
Oh my sweet, my feathered fiends,
what’s done in the night no one can see
Oh my love, my feathered foes
Nobody knows, only the murder of crows
Verse 2
There’s a rifle a-pointing, you cry out and moan
As the silver moon shines and the shadows creep on
You plea, you beg, you are stiff as a stone
Powder on my hands and blood on your clothes
My shovel is dirty and the barrel still smokes
As the silver moon shines and the shadows creep on
Three went into the woods, One came out alone
As the silver moon shines there’s a murder of crows
Chorus
Oh my sweet my feathered fiends,
what’s done in the night no one can see
Oh my love, my feathered foes
Nobody knows, only the murder of crows
Verse 3
At dawn comes the sheriff and two brave men more
As the silver moon shines, and the shadows creep on
They followed the trail, the scavengers told
They take me to the gallows, gotta carry my load
The wind carries tears of deeds done wrong
As the silver moon shines and the shadows creep on
The judge shouts his verdict, chills down to my bones
Hang him at noon, when the shadows are gone
Chorus
Oh my sweet my feathered fiends,
what’s done in the night no one can see
Oh my love, my feathered foes
Nobody knows, only the murder of crows
Oh my sweet my feathered fiends,
what’s done in the night no one can see
And my name, chiseled in stone,
Here lies the host of a murder of crows
Outro
A murder of crows
A murder of crows
A murder of crows
