W:1
W:I'm raised and born, comes the cry of the storm
W:In the song of the carrion crow
W:And the lads that tell of the songs of Hell
W:The walking dead and the gorgon head
W:In the land of the carrion crow, where the winds of misery blow
W:Of the Walking Dead and the gorgon head in the land of the carrion crow.

W:2
W:The rain will fall upon the poison pools
W:And the streams will cease to flow
W:Then the fish will rise with their vengeful eyes
W:Searching then for the guilty men
W:In the land of the carrion crow, where the cruel winds do blow
W:Searching then for the guilty men in the land of the carrion crow.
W:
W:3
W:And the men will feel along the roads of steel
W:And neither friend nor foe
W:Each keeps his place with granite face
W:And none will say if he cares to stay
W:In the land of the carrion crow where the cruel winds do blow
W:None will say if he cares to stay in the land of the carrion crow
W:
W:4
W:The birds that fry in the soul fest sky
W:Are the cousins of the crow
W:They circle round and search the ground
W:And fill the air with cold dispair
W:In the land of the carrion crow where the winds of misery blow
W:Fill the air with cold dispair in the land of the carrion crow.
W:
W:5
W:And over the dark and frowning hill
W:The sun is sinking low
W:The moon will light this freezing night
W:A thousand eyes will fill the skies
W:In the land of the carrion crow where the winds of misery blow
W:A thousand eyes will fill the skies in the land of the carrion crow.
